GO-TO GUIDE
Famous faces
The circuit was used as a filming venue for scenes in the 2013 film, Rush, which focuses on the rivalry between F1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 season. The Lincolnshire track substituted for the now removed Crystal Palace race circuit – where the two drivers competed together for the first time. Incidentally, Hunt had a famous F3 battle at the track in 1969, when he finished side-by-side with his future F1 rival Ronnie Peterson.
Where to watch
One of the top highlights is Hall Bends, which is a twisting section that features quick changes of direction through the woodland setting. If you have never visited The Mountain before, you need to see it to believe it. Motorcycles and cars frequently get airbourne over the crest of the hill.

Off Track Services

Camping is available at the venue for selected fixtures. However, there are also off-site alternatives including the Black Horse Inn, The Kings Head Hotel, Kenwick Park Resort, Keddington House Bed and Breakfast, Brackenborough Hotel and the Admiral Rodney Hotel.
The Black Horse Inn, in the little village of Donington on Bain, is the closest countryside pub, while the nearby town of Louth offers up a range of options, from cosy bars to artisan restaurants.
The circuit is nestled in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds, which offers plenty of scenic walks in different locations. It is also just 30 minutes from the sandy beaches of the East Coast. The Wolds Wildlife Park, Lincolnshire Zoo, and the ARK Wildlife Park offer nearby fun for animal lovers. Coningsby is also home to a medieval castle and the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre, with the Dambusters memorial.
