Arrived here as a last minute idea to fill a Sunny Sunday afternoon…read more There is plenty of free secure parking for cars and motorbikes. There's plenty going on here over the weekends, from Drag racing, Drifting Events to Race what u bring events. This particular day, it was Drift car racing. It costs £5 per adult and kids are free of charge! Not bad if u bring a picnic for a full days entertainment! There's an on site club house that sells snacks and drinks, but it is quite expensive for cans of Fosters (2.50) and Bulmers (3.50), so I suggest you take your own! The race track is great and when the suns out its even better!

You may be surprised who is testing during the week. I have been here many times, so I am guessing at one of the time-frames that actually stretch back to the late 1980s. In addition, AC/DC played their best live performance here in my opinion. It is on DVD. It has passed its glory years for now, but you never know. Fly to East Midlands from London for better access.

Another weekend, another race circuit…read more This time it was off to the East Midlands to visit 'The Friendliest Circuit'. After Donington the weekend before, I was feeling rather tired of sleeping in a truck in the cooling - nay cold - temperatures of October, so there was a large amount of trepidation involved in this particular trip, especially as I would be travelling by motorbike this time. I tell ya - 5.5 hrs through high winds and stormy weather is fun for no-one, and by the time I reached the circuit, having gone through country fields, courtesy of the route planner I had used, I was tired, wet and very, very cold. But Mallory Park was definitely a much more pleasant experience. We were plugged up to mains (although this tripped on regular occasion) so heating was on when I arrived to warm through my chilled bones. There was a cafe which, although didn't serve a vegetarian option for breakfast, at least charged me less for a meat-free breakfast. The circuit itself is set in a beautiful part of the country - the views spectators have across the land surrounding the circuit could place you 10 years or 100 years ago and you would not notice the difference. The circuit itself is small, and fast, with some corners that caused many a scuffle amongst the sidecars here this weekend. The particular event I was here to watch was the World Sidecar Festival. More like European given the participants had travelled from all over Europe - given that for many this is a (expensive) hobby - you can imagine the passion people have for this sport. From Vintage big wheelers (imagine bicycle wheels attached to an engine), to classics (50s-60s onwards) up to the F1s and F2s, there was plenty entertainment. This also was the last of the Eastern Airways F1 Championship, so the racing here was fast, tight and exciting as competitors fought for final places. Amenities-wise, there were again plenty toilets, and 100% increase on Donington - with 2 showers (with transparent curtains - honestly, I don't need to see other women shower, thanks all the same!) and 2 sinks. Sometimes I really do wonder how the ratio of facilities is calculated - 10+ toilets, 2 sinks & 2 showers? Oh I guess if you factor in those who don't wash afterwards...gross. In conclusion, Mallory Park is a nice circuit to visit - the circuit itself is easily accessible and you get close up to the action, especially around the Hairpin and Bus Stop. It has some stunning oak trees, a reasonable paddock area and average amenities for a circuit. It definitely had a much friendlier vibe so for me, it certainly lived up to it's motto.
