"The birthplace of British motorsport"

 

This famous motor racing course built in 1907 had the most famous banked racetrack, it was also home to the British aerospace and now home to the 4th Concorde ever built.

In the 20's it was the place to be seen, along with Ascot and Henley, along with famous drivers like Donald and Malcolm Campbell. There was also a famous cycle track.

£7 is the entry fee and  a good day out for serious petrolheads
