Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground was constructed in 1942 as a World War II Airfield. In 1954/55 a completely new airfield was built for the US Air Force as a strategic heavy bomber base which they used until 1962. It is currently the largest privately owned vehicle test track facility in the UK, centrally located and close to the M1 / M6 in Leicestershire.

Indy Circuit

Provides you with a uniquely safe environment to explore driving a vehicle to its limit of adhesion and beyond. As the circuit name suggests it is a large oval that is tarmac based with large run off areas. You will use it for the morning of day 2 of our Grip Limit course.

Sprint Circuit

Fast and challenging, the Sprint Circuit offers you the opportunity to develop your performance driving and circuit techniques, in a racing circuit environment. The fast high G corners, challenging transitional turns and long straights, provide the perfect environment to hone your circuit skills. Used for the afternoon session on day 2 of our Grip Limit course.

Due to the nature of the exercises and the aggressive effect of the airfield surface on tyres, it is mandatory to use CAT vehicles for the majority of our training activities at Bruntingthorpe. The last hour of training can be carried out in your own car if you wish.
