Mallory Park Getting There

Mallory Park lies approximately midway between Leicester and Nuneaton. The surrounding major roads include the M1 to the east, the A5 and M6 to the south and the M42 and A42 to the west. Whichever route is chosen, the final approach can be seen in the above map.

Main Entrance

For the main entrance, which leads to spectator parking, follow the blue arrows to the Main Entrance. Those who will have a long journey may wish to note the location of the toilet block, within the main car park, that is suitable for the disabled.

Competitors’ Entrance

Competitors should follow the red arrows which leads to the Competitors’ Entrance. From there, drive to the official-controlled circuit access gate. This will be closed while the circuit is live and is the only way to drive into the paddock, so it is best to plan accordingly. It is usually open prior to the start of activities, during the lunch break and after the meeting has ended. It is also likely to be open between sessions, but I don’t think that can be guaranteed; for example if an incident occurs at the hairpin. From here, drive in an anti-clockwise direction to the paddock, following the red lines in the above map. Be aware that this is also the only exit for traffic, so drive with extreme care.

SatNav Details

Entering a post code into my satnav usually gets me to my destination, but not always, so I also include GPS coordinates with these guides.

What3Words are also an increasingly useful addition. I try to find a w3w location with at least one word that is related to motor racing; I also try to find short words. I have also provided coordinates and What3Words for a position within the paddock. This could be useful as a meeting point for guests.
