Cadwell Park

With its origins firmly rooted in 1934, first as a 0.7 mile motorcycle road race circuit, Cadwell Park has evolved as a strong favourite with competitor and spectator alike. Widened, and lengthened to 1.3 miles in 1953, it became a regular venue for the earliest single-seater racing categories, 500cc Formula 3, and, by 1960, the superceding Formula Junior. The 2.25 mile circuit was opened in 1962 and although still primarily a busy motorcycle race venue, Cadwell Park hosted a number of important car race fixtures. But, because of the narrow confines of the circuit, a maximum 2-litre engine capacity was imposed for the fastest car racing classes. Acquired by Brands Hatch Circuits in 1987, this popular Lincolnshire venue continued to thrive at the heart of British motor sport. A packed and varied event schedule listed upwards of 80 fixtures with seemingly everything from scooters, superkarts, rallycross and a stage of the RAC Rally featuring alongside the traditional Clubman and National mix of motorcycle and car racing. The spectacle continues in modern times with a complex nature of twists and turns, crests and descents, on what is considered to be one of the most demanding circuits for competitors, and one where knowledge and experience is vital to success. In addition, racegoers are rewarded with a panoramic view of the action at a superb scenic venue located in a rolling countryside landscape. Although the historic wooden barn no longer exists, having made way for a series of circuit improvements, Cadwell Park has maintained its idyllic charm and its tradition as a challenging and spectacular club racing circuit
