just thought i would post this on here so it could get its post count up, i think this would be a fantastic thing, https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/19328
Read it on dw, great idea but zero chance of it happening I think. Hell sign the petition anyway it\'s not gonna hurt to try!
The Health and Safety Executive would kill it.
Not a hope in hells chance of this ever happening now but worth a punt i guess.

Only if they knock down the whole of Aldershot too :p
I\'d be there everyday off if it was that area :3gears-rh

M6 toll road should be closed once a year for everyone with a really fast car to see how good there cars are over say a 10 mile stretch!
Aldershot is just begging to be ripped down but that\'s a different matter

I\'ve never been on the toll road but i get the impression its just like any other mtorway so wouldn\'t pose much of a challenge.

Well here\'s the perfect reason to do it :D

Maybe when we get away from the buerocrats of the Eu, which is looking increasingly likely from the news today!
Maybe just cheaper track days? I know I can\'t afford what some places are selling them at.
surely we already have plenty of potential British Nurburgrings? Brands, Silverstone, Donington Park etc etc etc... all they need to do is put a toll system in place like they do on the Nordschleife?

Too short really buddy!
Check out some of the land and tarmac tracks the Mod have for testing, there was a trackday at Bovington a couple of years back in aid of Help for Heroes, it was dubbed a mini Nurburgring, i think it was 5 miles of track!
I was at that trackday and 5 people wiped their cars out on tank traps. Good fun though!

I was booked but unable to make it, so cant comment on the track, but sure it cant have been any worse than accidents at the ring?
I have a friend who races in one of the tarmac rally series, they regularly use mod land and tracks, in fact the Sunseeker rally around Poole used to use one as a stage, until some spectator incidents and the mod suddenly got all queer about health and safety, or probably more so about being sued!

I think M1tch has hit the nail on the head :Giggle
but the M25 is so boring!!! the condition of the road is crap, 50% of it has 50mph average speed cameras with roadworks... F the M25, I hate it.
No body... I mean no body. Hates that miserable excuse of a road more than me, it\'s made me miss out on evening of passion far to many times.
I actually find that going through central London and paying the congestion charge is better than the M25, probably cheaper too... the problem is the amount of muppets that have absolutely no idea how to drive at all, let alone on motorways.
The sad thing is, these people are becoming a much more common occurrence these days, I\'ve lost count of the amount of people trundling around with their full beams on, I\'m not talking about them being HIDs or adjusted too high, I\'m talking full, burn your eyes out of their sockets, beam
you want to experience driving here in cyprus mate, muppet isn\'t the word.
I Have driven out there, but luckily it was mainly the coastal road going up from paphos to the border then across to the mountains, so reasonably quiet
I must see 2/3 accidents a day on average.
This would be great on my doorstep... but TBH i don\'t think it will happen either.
fingers crossed\'n\'all that!
