The proving ground was part of Vauxhall motors, was their proving ground where rival cars were taken apart, smashed and tested with their own. When Vauxhall moved out it had to go its own way. Assorted circuits and tracks. You find details of that on a google. Did experience the full Vauxhall motors family day out there once. Round the bowl at 100 mph and watched a test crash. Air bags deployed etc.
Now Cherry with its eye of Europe and potential assembly in the Nissan factory in the North East has seen the benefits of a British R&D facility. Just needs to get Xpeng here with their links to VW... but may be they will keep their mutual ties in Germany.
