2012 Season Dates have been finalised for next year and details are available on the 'Events Page'. Following extended negotiations with the landlords a verbal understanding has been reached which is anticipated will lead to a formal arrangement to secure the use of the hill for a further ten years. Once the legalities have been been concluded Wiscombe Ltd, the management company for motorsport at Wiscombe Park, will embark upon a re-surfacing programme for the track. Such work is a major undertaking and investment but it is hoped that a new surface will be in place for a significant part of the 900 metre course by the start of the 2012 season.
