Unfortunately the Circuit owners do not allow steam engines onto the race track - it has been tried in the past but alas not allowed!:

I don't blame the owners...it could be dangerous for the racing cars with oil and ash all over the track... but having said that I'm sure it would be great fun to watch a steam engine race in groups by size !. :p:D
