NBT- I'm going racing 😳

Darley Moor is a shit hole.

Those bogs have an opaque corrugated roof, that way they don't need any lights.

Take a torch if you want a piss in the dark.

– the facilities, however wasn’t one of the good ways

I've seen (and used) far, far worse!

In fairness, I have too

I don't want to put a downer on things,but listening to Jamie Witham's podcast the other day he said that Darley Moor & other former airfields are now classed as brownfield sites & planning permission is going in to turn Darley Moor into a housing estate

And that's going to upset him? I think he'd be more upset if they keep it as a track

Definitely no downer from me- this was the PR released by the club back in Jan.


it's inevitable IMO, there is no way I can see that someone could make it safe and desirable enough for anyone apart from club racers (grantrf, and the likes of McPint and Spud ) to race there without spending an absoloutely huge amount of money (and that's assuming PP would be granted), which means it's money-making value is extremely limited and relatively small, so yeah, as soon as some housebuilder manages to find the right people to accept acceptable backhanders , oops I mean gets the right incentive then yep, it'll be history
Which is of course is the way of the world , and not always a bad thing...

Isn't Darley Moor the arse end of nowhere, who's going to buy a house up there, Ashbourne is hardly a boom town

People who like to visit Alton Towers a lot?

I did my first ever track day at Darley Moor, I have fond memories of the place
