MIRA Ltd is where Ant Freeze is being held, its where I work.
It originally stood for Motor Industry Research Association.
Have a look at http://www.mira.co.uk for an idea of how its developing now.

We still test cars, I am based in the crash department hence the high speed cameras.

It is also where 13Black was built :)

PLEASE NOTE:
Security will let you on site and direct you, they will probably ask if you have a camera, you are ok because I have the correct form filled in and authorised by one of the managers so if theres any problems let me speak to them.

Cameras can only be used within the club room and must not be pointed out of the windows and don`t get them out anywhere else. Failure to comply with this could mean the event is cancelled immediately with the likely hood of there not being another one.

Man, that place is tight. Is there a car park and how much will it be for a day? Also, will there be video footage?

Parking is right next to the building, its free all day.
There are no shops at all, and due to the roadworks there are none easily nearby either.
We are doing sandwiches and crisps etc and tea and coffee, it would be wise to bring extra food if you think you will be hungry.
