Curborough Sprint Course
Getting There
|
Head for Lichfield on the A38, follow signs for Fradley Industial Estate about 2 miles (guessed) north of Lichfield. Straight on at all roundabouts until you pass the skid pan on your left. The sprint ciruit is the next left. | Added by woolley 24/07/2002 00:42

Lunch / Circuit Customs
|
Good resident caterers ("Dinner Jackets"). Some promoting clubs give a lunch voucher. Even without the prices are reasonable. Marshals move to the front of the queue if the lunch break is limited. A bit slow to open first thing, but usually time for a bite before practice starts. | Added by JimW 02/11/2003 12:17

Marshal's Perspective
|
Not the most exciting of venues, but can be good entertainment, especially if there are rally cars or Porsches who can throw them about on the twisty bits. Standard of organisation/marshalling can vary hugely according to Club. Pretty safe venue, with not too much to hit, so most marshalling is recovery from spins and failures. Weather always seems to be miserable when I go, hence the term 'Curboroughing down' describes that horrible misty rain that gets inside your collar. | Added by woolley 24/07/2002 00:50
