I visit Oulton Park on a regular basis, track days, testing sessions and race meetings. Great for families.........good catering......above all great for spectating
Oulton Park looks like a well-run circuit, clean tidy with decent facilities. Arrived and checked in for the experience before having lunch in canteen, okay food and reasonably priced. All staff throughout the day, especially those involved with the driving were excellent.A safety briefing took place first followed by 15 minutes in the M3’s with an instructor. They said pay attention to the instructor and it does pay, they really help improve your driving and despite doing it all day, my instructor was full of enthusiasm. A second safety briefing before going out in the single seaters, these were a treat to behold. Not stalling it was a challenge whilst trying to get it out of the pits followed by a lap under a pace car. Finally out on the circuit a real experience. The marshals who you think must be bored out of their mind are very attentive and help the cars lap the circuit smoothly and safely pass each other. For me the single seaters were the better of the two, the M3’s helped you learn the track but they were nothing like the raw experience in the open cockpit which left you feeling like an F1 driver! Just a shame there wasn’t more time. Would happily return again and having done a few driving experiences this is the best one I’ve done to date, top marks. Anyone doing this, listen to the staff and follow their instruction – there was a couple of fools when I was there who seems unable to follow basic safety instruction which spoil the day not just for themselves but also potentially others, fortunately the marshals were on the case!
Great circuit, goes without saying really.I thought the organisation and quality of the marshals was very high. We will be back!
Brilliant day out both for rider and spectators. Very efficiently run with safety in mind but relaxed atmosphere, thoroughly enjoyable. Facilities good, lovely cafe/ restaurant with great food and portions ! Can't wait to go again.
Really enjoy it down there, an especially the food there, at 7 pounds 50 for a meal its excellent,Great to be able to go to the pits and see work being done plus ample vantage points to enjoy racing.
First Visiting in the 60's, Iv'e had a love affair with this place. Still attend every Car Race Meeting if possible. Do the Track Days with my MG and would even go to see the grass being cut, if a Motor Mower used...The Facilities are much improved, even Toilets outside of the Paddock now. Probably only the ARMCO Barriers spoil the Driving Experience now. The Location is near perfect and Spectating, Parking, Food etc all very good.
Being brought up within 2hrs of Oulton it has always been my chosen circuit even if it doesn't have the better facilities of some other circuits like Donnington or Brands it will always remain my favourite.The fact that you can walk almost everywhere on & around the circuit is a bonus, because who wants to stay on the same corner during the races all day!?!?!The surrounding countryside is also well worth the visit, even if you only go to watch a trackday.J&H motorcycles has a showroom on the way down from Chester & anyone wanting a big breakfast is advised to pay them a visit as well.
Absolutely love this place i have been visiting oulton park for many years best circuit in the UK by my veiw.
My husband persuaded me to have a go in an ariel atom while we were at Oulton Park for a driving experience package I had bought for him. I have never been as fast in all my life. The car took off like a bullet from a gun. After screaming my way around the first lap I decided to go with it and really enjoyed the experience Thrill seekers this is a must !!
Two great days out at oulton park Trackdays, one through msv and one through javelin Trackdays, the circuit has excellent facilities and the undulating technical track is a must for any enthusiast to drive .The catering was good and priced sensibly for a place where they have a captive audience, overall great experience, hope to go back soon
