If anyone would like advice on how to do this and make it a success is 100% about it then PM me.
There is a lot of red tape but it can be done!
Just one fact you cannot run as non-profit making it will cost you more! If you change the use of land the VGA will rate it (example horse jumps in a field need planning if there for more than 12 months!).
Once the land has been re rated and planning is given and you have paid the rate (not the rateable value) it will be hard for anyone to remove you from the land.
If you can find a bit of land inside a public park and the council are behind you, you can run a club without rates and minimal rent (very hard to get access for car parking you may pay to park on site).
You will need support from the racers and a group of 3~6 to take it on IMO.
There are a lot of farmers who need income and have the machines to build tracks onsite but they will not want the council/planers coming to there sites you will need to sort this for them.
To start any track project you will need £5k~£10 min you need to work out how to make it pay 40+ racers per meeting every 3rd week would give you income timming gear 3K ! transpunders £120 each for hand outs so the cost of track use + racing will make or break you.
Do your sums first and get all your cost together before you start.
Good luck
