With hallowed tarmac steeped in classic British motorsport lore, and several circuits to titillate the most seasoned of diesel heads, Oulton Park has delivered racing experiences worthy of the very best since ’53.

- We can't guarantee the accuracy of this one but this is the story of how Knickerbrook Corner got its name (allegedly): a demolition company (headed by the famous Blaster Bates) were using dynamite to remove tree stumps close to the corner.

Oulton Park video
This is a mildly diverting clip from the hey day of classic car racing. It shows some rare onboard video from Jim Clark's Lotus 25 as he wins the Oulton Park Gold Cup in 1963.
As the narrator says in the video, Oulton Park track used to have obstacles such as trees around the edge of the track. Just goes to show how much things have changed! These days you have plenty of space around the track and guides so that if you don't quite make a corner then you only get a bit of a rough ride.
