29th December 2009 Christmas and New year special
The track has been around since 1940's as a pony trotting track, then in the 1948 a grass track was made. The first concrete had been layed by 1956 and thats when the serious fun started. Since then it has been home to some of the best racing in England and has hosted everything from Superbikes to Truck Racing. Mallory Park has seen some of motor racing’s greats compete there. John Surtees returned to Mallory to win on both 2 and 4 wheels (the only man to win World Championships on both 2 and 4 wheels). The great Giacomo Agostini was beaten by local legend John Cooper (a Derby lad!)in the Race of the Year. Agostini was World Champion at this time so it was a great success for Cooper. It has also been home to Radio 1 roadshows and Bay City Rollers concerts to name a few, and this summer coming it will be the home of Doughnutters Trackdays 3 day camping and track event, but more on that at a later date
It has what is regarded as one of the fastest corners of an English track, the famous Gerrards Corner (100+mph is acheivable) and at the other end one of the slowest hairpins (20 - 30mph) and a few more corners thrown in to test you inbetween!
First session will start at 9am. we will have a brief break for lunch to allow the marshalls, fire crews, ambulance and rescue truck drivers to grab something to eat. Then its back out on track untill its too dark to race!
Spectators are free of charge to come down (free parking too) and there are some awesome veiwing points around the track, although children under 16 will not be permitted in the Pit / Paddock area unsupervised. There is a cafe and licensed bar for them to use while they enjoy the action on track.
