Known as the friendly circuit with good reason. Situated in the Leicestershire countryside not too far from the M1 and M6, you are greeted on arrival by a large Lotus Badge and statues of Jim Clark and Colin Chapman, as well as Roger Clark, John Sutrees and Mike Hailwood.

Well known for it's great club and bike racing the circuit layout used is unchanged for a number of years. But don't be late as there is no paddock access for cars once the circuit is in use. If you are locked out then don't despair the natural surroundings make it possible to see the complete circuit from a number of viewing points.

Despite the small number of corners, totalling 5, it isn't as simple as it seems. The long 180° plus Gerrards has probably the longest apex of any corner in the UK with a high entry and a high exit speed it leads you to the Esses before the uphill run to one of the tightest hairpins in the UK with it's very high kerbs and trees on the inside, then the run down to the flat out devils elbow. The nature of the circuit rewards commitment and accuracy due to the high speeds of each corner. A great little circuit.
