tbh I'd quite like a race that was longer than 2 hours, but not certain what type of uptake we'd get for it. 

I'm also still working on plans for a 24hr race next year.

As an aside I will shortly be in communication with a fellow cycle enthusiast who is involved with promoting cycling (in all its forms) in the local area (south coast). He is aiming to host a cycle weekend or suchlike in Worthing to include all manner of events which he may be interested in a recumbent event (maybe a demonstration or precession) for people to watch. This will be in the Bank holiday in August. More details to follow.

Yes, if it happened it would be as part of somebody else's event - again, very much as in Jersey.  I have no intention of getting us involved with having to erect crowd barriers, and I wasn't even at Brighton in 2001.

Highly unlikely, I'm afraid.  I've already been in touch with Curborough and there aren't really any suitable dates available.

Castle Combe is south of the M4 ... just!
 
We've been to Thruxton a couple of times, though not in my time as CompSec.  Both times were in association with other people's events; my recollection is that they're not at all keen on letting in people they don't know, it being not just a race curcuit but an operational airfield too.
 
Does anyone know any available tracks?  I'm always prepared to listen to suggestions.

Any dates known, that I should avoid clashing with?

The rates their web site quotes for exclusive hire are beyond our means:
Sat  £2000.00 + VAT 
Sun  £3000.00 + VAT
 
Are the cycling events you mention always at short notice (i.e. no booking this weekend so we'll let the cyclists in) or does the circuit have a limit on number of days for motor use, so they might hire it out at lower rates when they've run out of those?
