Historic Race Tracks

[chassis 33]

Can anyone put me out of my misery, somewhere out there is a website that shows pretty much every layout, past and present, of every race track on the planet. From memory it has a bit of a beige pattern background thing going on.

Any ideas what the address it?

www.etracksonline.co.uk has quite a few, but seems to miss out many older/disused venues. I'm sure there's another site, but I can't find it...

Likewise, and the map of the original 1953 Oulton circuit, that doesnt cross Knickerbrook doesnt seem to work either!!!

Thanks for that link though.

Used to be www.racingcircuits.net but it dissappeared about 4 months ago while I was trying to plan a visit to the old Rouen circuit. Doesn't seem to have re-surfaced unfortunately. Pity as it was a great way to waste a couple of hours...

Been doing a bit more searching...I've found this archive site http://web.archive.org/web/2005020303www.racingcircuits.net/

But still no graphic for the original Oulton circuit!
oooo I've found this still works http://images.google.com/images?q=+siwww.racingcircuits.net+Racingcircu ok, I'm a sad git!!!

Glad to see Im not the only one interested in these old circuits. I have looked for that website as well.

I'm planning to visit Rouen and Reims next month but have not found much about either.

Phil,

Try this place for Rouen

Very good - its where I got all my info from prior to my visit earlier this month. Let me know if you want any info. I tookloads of pictures but unfortunately my laptop threw a fit and I lost them all when I had to change the HD. Still, an excuse to visit again! It really is a fantastic place.
