I'd imagine it will fit with a school holiday, but at a guess July/aug will be the date

It's a bit far.

Can you hold it at Wombwell Go-kart track, I can walk there from my house?
Foxhall Stadium is walking distance from my house, quarter mile gravel oval anyone? Camping is available

Silverstone is 100 miles closer than Pembrey for me, less than 80 miles and 90 mins away, but that's the only thing in its favour as far as I am concerned.

I've only ridden the GP circuit once as I didn't enjoy it. From memory, I found it difficult to learn and featureless. Yep, very fast and plenty of room but probably my least favourite UK track.

Yep, Pembrey is a bit of a trek but last weekend was top fun, even in the wet sessions....I would not look forward to Slipperystone in the wet.

Just my 2p worth

Silverstone is 125 miles from mine, takes about two and a half hours, but it's a shite drive once I get past the A1

I really can't comprehend that. But then again I don't particularly like Cadwell that everyone else seems to adore. Silverstone though I absolutely adore as a track, it's fast, fun, scary and amazing.

Silverstone, so no camping and the social time at the track, bland circuit, hotels and £210 to ride it at best. As plans go that’s as far removed from Pembrey as it can be. The staying at track and the evening bbq for me when I’ve done it has been one of the best bits.
But I guess it limits tracks, Cadwell is only one that springs to mind, maybe hire somewhere like Blyton park and have whole place to ourselves 👍😁

Can you can at Mallory or Donington, both are pretty central.
