DMS is probably your closest option. they race Thursday nights and there a few sunday events too (mainly regionals i think)

There's newbury too, dunno how far that would be for you though. im sure some others might know of more indoor in that area

Slightly further afield you've got HNMC up in Ware. its outdoors on tuesday nights in the summer and our winter is currently running 1 sunday per month

HTH!

If it's not to far for you to travel then Telstar race on Friday nights

Default Pom Pom's

I work in industrial Freezer's (-25 C)

I don't need any more cold in my life
Especially when I'm trying to enjoy myself

So if you get the Pom Pom's and the coat i'll make the call and get you arrested

See you in the summer

Newbury (West Berkshire Raceway) has also closed.
The Newbury club is touring car only I believe?

Indoor clubs are getting thin on the ground

I mentioned regular saturdays to a number of drivers on the Rnd 4 meeting and there was a lot of interest, not sure how much feedback you got, but I definately think its a winner.

Build it Matt and they will come!

Default Try Yatton

Try Yatton near Weston S Mare.
Its approx (educated guess) 1 1/2 hours from Taplow
They have a trophy meeting on Sunday 20th Jan which includes a raffle with the top prize being a holiday.
They race every Friday and every other Sunday.
See their section here on Oople.
