Track History

Used for grass track racing by the Leicester Query Motorcycle Club from September 1949, the estate was purchased in 1955 by Clive Wormleighton who paved the circuit with tarmac. The circuit was very similar to that of the Mallory Oval, with a slightly less curved Lakes Esses leading to a sharp right and left known as the Castrol Chicane. In the 1970s the circuit was extended with the addition of the loop to Shaws.

The circuit was sold to Grovewood Securities in July 1962, part of the group which owned Brands Hatch, and after considerable investment they put the circuit up for sale in the early 1980s. Chris Meek, a racing driver and Leeds based businessman, purchased the circuit in 1982.
