As you are aware, MIRA has the motor industry test track - an oval, but there
is also a sprint course set inside it.B We use the sprintB trackB each year
as part of the HealeySport Sprint and Hill Climb Challenge in the UK - its a
great track.B The only problem is that we can't take any photographic
equipment to the track as there are often car manufacturers using the oval for
testingB new cars.B I would normally suggest you check out our website
www.healeysport.org to see the 'Gallery' in the 'Sprint and Hill Climb'
section but clearly there is nothing there for this event - but take a look at
the other venues if you're interestedB to see what we do with these old cars.

When I worked for Lucas racing section in the 50's manufacturers would test
their cars at M.I.R.A
if you are interested this test track is still used .
do a check for MIRA Nuneaton Birmingham ... then go down to
