"Great weekend at Mallory" recommended review Have only been once, did a trackday followed by a race meeting the next day. Amazing atmosphere with a great sense of history about the whole place. Fantastic pub on circuit again full of history and spot on beer!
Safety is an issue, the exit of ...

"Misplaced pride!"It describes itself as "the friendly circuit" and while it far from a hostile reception you'll get there it belies the fact that this is quite possibly one of the worst circuits you'll find in the UK. The paddock is atrocious - set on a slope with the tar...

"Great track to learn on"Short track which provides a good chance to learn the lines and have some fun.Gerrards is a FAST double apex that requires a good entry and smoothness to get it right. Easy track for passing.Fast circuit that can cook your tyres if you stay out too long.

"too short"Not ideal for the TVRs. Gerrards isn't easy (I did my first spin there) but otherwise it is hard to maintain interest.

"There's only one corner"Gerards is quite rewarding when you get it right, because it's so long. If you get the entry wrong, you're history, so the challenge is to take as much speed in as possible, without meeting the scenery at the exit. However, once you can do that, you may a...

"Better than you think"Gerrard's is very challenging to get right.
So are the Esses to get spot on and carry A LOT of speed.
Anyone who says there are thousands of lines at the hairpin needs driving lessons!
A lot of people say it's easy but I disagree.
I've tak...

"Like Oval racing - then Mallory's for you."Not the most technical of circuits. The never-ending Gerards catches quite a few drivers out whilst the run through Lake Esses up to the hairpin provides about the only fun bit of the circuit. Watch at the hairpin for about 1000 different lines as a fast ...

"I wrecked my Golf here - :-("Mallory will always be the track where my first race car died - hit from behind and spun in front of the Group One pack April 2002 at Gerards, lap 1.
Its really just a big oval with an extension to one end and a hairpin, but Gerards makes it inte...

"great atmosphere - a little to small for tin tops"This track has a very tight hairpin, which will slow most tin tops to about 20 mph. Not a problem in itself, but as the track is just over a mile in length, you'll have to do it a lot!
Gerrards (from memory, that's what it's called) is the other ...

"Excellent for beginners"Nice little course for beginners (like me !), excellent in a nimble Cater-field type as bigger cars just can't get going. Easy to learn. You'd have to be trying REALLY hard to get it in the lake !  More
