Default Possible new outdoor track bedfordshire area?

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this one but seems as good as any!

I have an opportunity to build a decent sized track on some secure land that i now have unlimited access and use of. My questions are thus:

1) The track would be in the Leighton Buzzard area of bedfordshire, would their be a demand for a good quality outdoor track in this area for use in both race meetings and or general practice days?

2) If i was to go ahead with this it would seem obvious to use astroturf to give maximum useability in a range of weather or is their a better option, maybe a dirt track as clearly fewer of these around (probably for good reason)?

3) Are their any clubs locally this area that might appreciate the use of this type of facility for regular meetings etc? I believe that Leighton Buzzard has a club but that it is predominantly on road!

4) The land in question is already available to me and will continue to be whether i proceed with track or not (land has not been secured solely for the purpose of rc track) so minimal financial risk involved for me, however anyone with experience of setting up and or running a track of this type i would appreciate any advise you could give, pitfalls etc, even if that might be dont bloody do it, its a pain in the arse.

Anyway, would appreciate any comments on the idea generally and especially from those that might actually wish to use such a track in this area.

Cheers
