I've found myself several times looking for a map of all the racing circuits in the UK, mostly when I'm trying to work out where I should go for a trackday (more in terms of where I should consider because its close enough, rather than how to get somewhere).

Since I wasn't aware of one existing, I thought I'd make one, and share it here in case it's useful for anyone else: HERE

Please let me know if it works for others, and if there are any tracks I have missed. I haven't flung the net wider and put in sprint or hillclimb venues, as they don't host trackdays, but if people find it particularly useful then I can.

Looks good and works for me. Not sure if Prestwold circuit is open to public use other than organised track days but putting that one on might be useful.

From what I can see they only host their experience days, rather than actual trackdays or races, so will leave it off for the moment, thanks for the suggestion though!

Ah! Of course, I'm an idiot, I've even been there.

I particularly like the photo of Croft - a field!

I've made a couple of organisational changes so should be a bit better now.

On my screen I see Croft in the right place, and the satellite view shows the circuit, do you see something different?

Absolutely, but is not an MSA venue, hence its in the Non-MSA venues (dedicated circuit) section.

Ah, I think I see what you mean now, the photo on the left side (you can't see that when you're looking at it as an editor). Yeah, does look a bit odd, not something I did though, that's just the picture they have associated with that location.

Looks good!

Only one I can think of that is missing is Crail, just to the right of Knockhill -ish

How about East Fortune ?

and Teesside Autodrome ? (mainly karting, but they do use it for cars occasionally)

I wasn't even aware of Crail! Will add it now.

I was going to keep it to places that do actual trackdays, rather than experience days. I know Teesside (again, have been there racing karts), but couldn't find any details of them doing actual trackdays (though have heard mention of it in the past, maybe it was more drift day type), I'd not heard of East Fortune, but seems that they also only do experience days.

Looks good. I like the fact that you can select/de-select the different categories and it's easy to use/view.
I have a map (including sprint/hillclimb) venues you might find useful here: circuit map
You might find some extras you want to include? You can also search for circuits or events within a distance of your postcode using the advanced search.
Didn't know about Crail or Dunsfold so will have to look into those.
Cheers

Wow, I was not aware of your site. You have some absolutely awesome tools, will definitely be using them in future.

Hopefully you make some money if I book through you, as I'll certainly be doing that in future.

Thanks for this.
The site doesn't actually take bookings or any commission, it just points you to the organiser to book direct. The site is a tool to help find the events and information. Basically I've tried to create the type of site I was looking for.

No, it's the blue one to the right of the red one.

Thanks for sorting that I've lost count the amount of times I've looked up one track or another
