Known as the‘ mini-Nürburgring’, this track is one of the UK’ s great driving challenges, with undulating twists and turns running through a woodland setting

Circuit: Cadwell Park Location: Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 9SE Length: 2.20 miles Website: www. cadwellpark. co. uk

The venue was first established when landowner Mansfield Wilkinson allowed his son Charles to race motorcycles around his grounds. The circuit was then expanded with the addition of‘ The Mountain’ – a section where racers can sometimes get airborne – and the layout reached its current configuration in 1962. Although initially known as a motorcycle racing circuit, it has also featured four-wheeled motorsport including British F3, Rallycross and even Formula 1 Stock Cars, which used a specially designed anticlockwise circuit.

The circuit contains a total of 18 corners – seven left-hand and 11 right – and starts with the fast, uphill left-hander known as Coppice, and includes several tight, twisty sections, blind corners, and the steep uphill Mountain section. The fourwheeled record around the full circuit stands at 1.21.138, set by Richard Mitcham in a Jedi MK6 1000 in 2010.
