A race day at Castle Combe Circuit offers a family day out with value: under 16s admitted free, parking close to the action, hassle free entry and exit, but above all excitement with races for sports, saloons and racing cars.
Castle Combe Circuit opened just 18 months after Silverstone in the summer of 1950, making it one of the longest established circuits in the UK. Until 1999, the circuit followed it's original layout, around the perimeter of the old air base. In that first year, Stirling Moss won a race and over the next few years, names like Mike Hawthorn, Colin Chapman, Les Leston, Roy Salvadori and John Surtees thrilled huge crowds.
By the 1960's, the circuit had become run down and although the old Brands Hatch company, tried hard to develop meetings problems prevented long term development. However in 1976, the circuit lease was obtained by the current owners they began developing the circuit as a modern national racing venue. Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, and David Coulthard all won races in the 70's and 80's, and by the 90's, the circuit hosted rounds of most of the national championships.
Today, the circuit boasts modern facilities for competitors and spectators, and the resurfaced and now reshaped circuit providing the closest circuit racing in British motor sport.
