Cadwell Park
Fondly nicknamed the 'mini Nürburgring', Cadwell Park is held closely in the heart of many motorsport fans. Located 10 miles north of Horncastle and five miles south of Louth, the Lincolnshire circuit is especially popular with bikers nationwide.
The star event on the Cadwell Park calendar is the British Superbike Championship over August Bank Holiday weekend. The annual BSB trip to Lincolnshire is known for its party atmosphere, attracting the biggest crowds of the season to witness some of the world's best riders tackling the infamous 'Mountain' section, where bikes frequently get airborne.
As the circuit's reputation continues to build, there are an increasing number of club car events taking place at the circuit. The 2.25 mile circuit will feature meetings from the Historic and Classic Sports Car Clubs, the British Automobile Racing Club, the MG Car Club and MSVR. The always-popular Vintage Sports Car Festival will again return to the circuit in June.
Don't miss the BSA British Superkart Grand Prix - one of only three Grand Prix to be held in the UK this year - on 18/19 July.

History of Cadwell Park
Set in the rolling Lincolnshire countryside, Cadwell Park was established in 1934. The length of the track, nicknamed the 'mini Nurburgring', almost doubled to 1.3 miles in 1953, when the ascendant 500cc motorcycle-engined Formula 3 class was invited to race in a traditional bike meeting. Reg Spreckley thus became the track's first car race winner in his Cooper. Some 30,000 spectators were said to have watched the meeting.
The original track, with its fearsome and photogenic Mountain feature, grew to its current 2.25-mile layout in 1962 and hosted the British F3 series the following May. It has three configurations – the rarely used Woodlands circuit, the short Club circuit, and the splendid, daunting Full circuit.
These days, its car racing exploits are confined to club meetings but they are invariably crackers, the track's swooping nature providing fantastic racing.
