Listed here are links to the circuit guides for the motor racing circuits and configurations of mainland Britain.
Also included are Quick Links, which are short cuts to pages, within each circuit guide, that are of interest to a specific type of person. These are: Getting There, for a first-time visitor; Marshal Posts, for the driver; Paddock Tour, describing all paddock facilities; and Spectating, for those who are looking for a good place to watch the racing.
The guides are updated as new ideas present themselves. Please feel free to ask for extra sections, or even provide me with new or updated information.

Anglesey I have raced on both configurations of the beautiful coastal circuit. I’ve also competed on the now extinct configuration and will provide historical information about that. | Coastal International | Getting There |

Brands Hatch I have only ever driven on the Indy configuration at this Kentish circuit, so only that is detailed here. It is the closest race circuit to London. | Indy GP | Getting There |

Cadwell Park I believe that only the full configuration of this Lincolnshire circuit is raced on, with the Club configuration used for track days and the racing school. I look forward to being corrected. | Full Club Woodlands | Getting There |

Castle Combe This very fast circuit is in the heart of Wiltshire. I believe that the organisers call themselves The Friendly Circuit. They are not wrong! | Castle Combe | Getting There |

Croft My club was the first to race on this North Yorkshire circuit. Previously, it was interesting with the occasional grassy covering. Now it is superb. | Croft | Getting There |

Donington Park Not far from Derby and Leicester, this circuit saw the German Grand Prix legends in 1937 and a masterclass by Ayrton Senna in 1993. It doesn’t disappoint. | National Grand Prix | Marshal Posts |

Knockhill I've raced on this circuit once, way back in 2001. It's a great circuit and I look forward to finally returning to it in 2022. | Knockhill | Getting There |

Mallory Park This small Leicestershire circuit was closed due to local residents not liking racing cars, but it’s back. It is small, but perfectly formed and deserves our support. | Mallory Park | Getting There |

Oulton Park Easily accessed via the M6, this Cheshire circuit is always a one-day event, as the locals don’t like Sunday drivers. I once raced here in the snow! Great fun. | International Island Fosters | Getting There |

Pembrey I picked up my first win at this Carmarthenshire circuit; that’s South Wales to the English reprobates. It is a small circuit, but the welcome is huge. I love it here. | Clubmans National | Marshal Posts |

Silverstone The home of the British Grand Prix. What a great circuit! What more can I say? Well, I could say how I get the impression that club racers are tolerated at best. I hate the venue, but at least I love the circuit. | National International GP | Getting There |

Snetterton Since this Norfolk circuit was upgraded, I have raced on both the 200 and 300 configurations. I love both and have had much success, including my last win, in the wet, in my Classic. | 200 300 | Getting There |

Thruxton This Hampshire circuit is the country’s fastest. It’s fairly safe too, with not much to hit, especially as the rabbit hole that helped a colleague to a nose-to-tail roll has been destroyed. Well done Michael. It is a fun drive. | Thruxton | Getting There |

Information Pack
I have created an Information Pack for every circuit, with different packs for each configuration. The Information Pack page describes in detail, along with examples, each document that is included in the pack. Excluded from the examples are official documents that I have no part in creating. I always endeavour to keep the pages up to date before my next visit.
The Information Pack includes everything I think I will need to make my life easier, including:
- Timetable
- Circuit contact details, sat nav coords, estimated journey times.
- Motor Racing Checklist
- Lap Times Spreadsheet
- Directions and Paddock
- Marshal Post Positions
- Corner Notes
- Official Notices
The above links can be useful, probably with modification, to other competitors.
