Information
An integral part of the fabric of the British motorsports scene for more than half a century, Oulton Park is one of the world’s most picturesque – and challenging – road circuits. Originally developed by the Mid-Cheshire Car Club on an estate between Chester and Liverpool, Oulton Park has been a staple of the British club racing scene as well as host to a dazzling variety of top rank professional races, from the British Formula 3 and British Touring Car Championship up to and including a series of non-championship Formula One races in the 1960s and ‘70s known as the International Gold Cup.
Oulton Park is famous for its numerous and severe changes in elevation — and a corresponding number of blind turns, many of which are taken at high speed and thus require a high level of commitment. The names of some of these corners such as Old Hall, Cascades, Dear Leap and Knickerbrook are etched in racing lore.
