Theres always Bruntingthorpe of course, pretty central. The guys over on PH hire it regular for there vmax days, would probably need a few bodies to cover the cost though..
What you thinking, get some feel for the new car?? Probably best to go over to the autodrome place where rs4john organised that time... plenty of room for f**k-ups apparently.

There's alway Hullavingdon (spelt ?) in Wiltshire - not exactly the midlands, but Top Gear have used it in the past.

Depends how long you want it ?, you can hire Curborough sprint circuit
near Lichfield but thats only 900 yds long !
Try getting in touch withShenstone and district car club (they run Curborough) they may be able to point you in the right direction.
