Rockingham Motor SpeedwayRockingham is a new, impressive motor sport circuit. Building on the site near Corby began in early 1999 - apparently there were a million tonnes of earth moved and shaped! As soon as you drive through the gates you are confronted by huge 50,000 seater grandstands - most of the circuit can be viewed from these grandstands but not on Track Days.The paddock and garage facilities are very good with plenty of space.
International Circuit
There are lots of left handers - making it quite American, banking, straights - in fact it is totally different to any other UK circuit, The Chicane is wide and unusual and is not obvious where the corner, braking is much later than expected as the chicane is fairly quick. Off the banking it is fast slightly downhill approach and part of the oval track seeing a whole different challenge to the chicane that precedes it. Rockingham is an excellent track and one that every rider will thoroughly enjoy.
National Circuit
A mostly left handed circuit contained in the centre of the Rockingham facility. It has its own blend of fast left and right hand turns and a short straight links them together. A firm favourite with our customers!
