Rockingham

Britain's newest track incorporating a full oval and intricate infield track.

Most famous for the banked oval - the only of its kind in the UK - the Rockingham circuit boasts the best facilities of any track in the UK. The infield circuit provides the action for non-oval types but has been criticised for not 'flowing'.

"Excellent facilities and an enjoyable day"
recommended review

Infield circuit had a nice combination of corners with not too many long straights as previously stated.

Facilities were impressive.

"Forget the banked oval, the infield's the best bit"

"If You Like That Sort of Thing........."

Great modern facilities though -restuarant, pit garages etc.

"Watch out for the concrete"

Nice infield - bit flat, but when you get onto the banked curves, you'll have your bearings in your mouth.

VERT slippy when it's wet.

"Spectacular venue"

I really enjoyed Rockingham and am looking forward to going back next year.

The twisty infield is ok and has a few nice wide bends good for gooning where there is also plenty of run off.

The oval is spectacular but seeing the tyres marks...

"Not for the faint hearted"
recommended review

This curcuit is so different from anything else in the UK that you have to try it. It's a real experience to take the banked corners flat out, and hit the exit flat out in top gear with the concrete wall inches from your door mirror.
