As well as having the steepest banked corner in the UK (in the form of the Shell Oils; which is banked at 11 degrees) Oulton Park is also the second longest circuit, with only Silverstone Grand Prix stretching further. Opened in 1953, the circuit has been owned and operated by various companies over the years and since being purchased by Motorsport Vision in 2004, it has never looked better. Hosting several major events throughout the year, including British Superbikes and British Touring Car Championship, the highlight has to be the Gold Cup.
