Mallory Park in administration

Never good to read about such things.
Being a Leicestershire boy, I remember hearing the racing from my grandparents house.

for the press release

I think we should have a whip around

Ian Robert of Kingston Smith & Partners LLP, the Administrator to Mallory Park (Motorsport) Limited, said today (Oct 3) that there have been “encouraging” talks with Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council and the landlord aimed at securing the future of the racing circuit.

He explained: “We are still very keen for Mallory Park to host racing again and are in discussions with a number of interested parties. There also now appears to be a way forward with the council and there have been useful talks with the landlord. These negotiations will continue; but this is a complex problem.”

Ian said that he could give no assurances about the future. “Although the talks have been encouraging and whilst Mallory Park is open for business, we are unfortunately unable, for insurance and administrative reasons, to continue with any track events.

“This situation may change. Whilst all track events next week have been cancelled, we are taking future events on a week-by-week basis and will be updating the website with information accordingly. Non-track events are unaffected.”

The Chris Walker Race School seminar on Wednesday, October 10 has been cancelled.

Sad news.
Hope they can keep it going somehow.

Fingers crossed they open it back up, wanted to go on that track one day

Damn NIMBY's complaining about the noise !  

I hope that there's a solution that keeps the track open. Still have happy memories of the first Thundercat trackday there... still have my copy of the DVD... and still chuckle at "H" s efforts to get his knee down in front of Tel when Tel was the camera bike...
