You've done a track day at Aintree? Interesting,I didn't realise it was still an active circuit.

Liverpool Motor Club run a couple of trackdays there a year plus a few sprints. I'm not sure how much of the old GP layout it includes TBH.

According to Wiki the 1.5 mile Club circuit still hosts occasional track days, but it is only part of the original 3 mile F1 configuration.

It's suprisingly challenging considering there's only 4 corners. Great circuit, always enjoyed it.

I believe it was. I did a track day there about 4 years ago. Fantastic track with lots of technical corners.

I think its closed now,due to noise pollution. A great shame.

Ah yes, Goodwood of course, driven there too.
Were they championship F1 races i.e. The British Grand Prix or non-championship races for F1 cars?

They were non-championship races of which the most famous was the Glover Trophy. This was hel from around 1949 - 1965 and included greats such as; Clark, Hill, Moss, Surtees and Hawthorne.

Laguna Seca is a F1 circuit? First I've heard of it!

(I've driven it in Grand Prix Legends but that doesn't really count.)

Sure you're not thinking of Riverside?

[ETA: Just discovered that Riverside no longer exists, it's now a housing estate and shopping mall! Sebring?]

I want to do Aintree!!

I've done Silverstone, Brands and Donington!

Would like to have a look at Spa

[nickfrog]

Laguna Seca never hosted a GP. I am not sure a F1 could make it through Corkscrew without a ridiculous ride height which would be odd for the rest of the lap.

I've been there though, you can enter and visit and even walk on the track. Car access trickier though...

You can take a walk through the woods at Hockenheim, but you cant drive the track - the lefties insisted that it was destroyed when the circuit was updated.
