Oulton Park
Britain's most beautiful and least forgiving circuit. Narrow, undulating parkland with barriers close and grip that changes with the shade — many drivers' favourite, and never one to take for granted.

Key info
- Noise limit
- 105 dB(A) static / 92 dB(A) drive-by — parkland setting means noise is taken very seriously
- Elevation notes
- Constant gradient with almost no flat sections. Cascades drops away, Clay Hill goes light over the crest, and Deer Leap genuinely unloads the car before Lodge.
Known tricky sections
- Cascades
Fast downhill right with a tightening exit and a wall of scenery. Get it wrong and there's very little run-off.
- Knickerbrook
Arrives at the bottom of a fast descent, over a compression, into a tight left. Braking point comes up quicker than you expect.
- Clay Hill
The car crests and goes light mid-corner. Steering input on the crest is how people end up in the trees.
- Deer Leap into Lodge
A jump immediately before the last heavy braking zone. Land, settle, then brake — not the other way round.
