Rockingham is the newest circuit in the UK and was only completed in 2001. It is most well known for its banked oval circuit but as a result of the circuit being designed from scratch it can have a number of different configurations and layouts.
The circuit is located near Corby and is an easy drive from the M1 and is therefore accessible from London as well as many other parts of the country.
There are many circuit configurations the venue can take. The international long circuit layout (see main video), which takes in turns 1 and 4 of the banked oval, is a good, interesting and challenging track that I would recommend. Whilst the layout has the banked corners and the main straight there are enough other corners that those with more power do not have a huge overall advantage. Also available is the National circuit (Click For Video).
Although the circuit is challenging, the runoff on the circuit is good and the track is wide enough for people to pass one another in safety and therefore is a good circuit for novices as well as those with more experience.
It is also worth noting that there are only limited refreshment facilities on site.
