Aintree Circuit: Where Motorsport Meets History

Nestled in the shadows of Aintree's world-famous Grand National course, the Aintree Motor Racing Circuit is a cornerstone of British motorsport, proudly hosted by the Liverpool Motor Club. This historic venue has been a hub of adrenaline-fueled action since the 1950s, carving its name into the annals of racing history.

Between 1955 and 1962, Aintree hosted the British Formula One Grand Prix five times, with none other than the legendary Stirling Moss clinching his maiden World Championship Grand Prix victory here in 1955. Today, that same tarmac reverberates with the echoes of history as it continues to host sprints, hill climbs, and a pair of coveted track days each year.

Track days at Aintree are a rare gem, capped at just 20 vehicles, making them an exclusive opportunity for enthusiasts to get up close and personal with this iconic circuit. If you’re eager to participate, don’t dawdle—applications fill up quickly, and racers need an ACU Road Race License and membership in the Aintree Motorcycle Racing Club to join the action.

For fans of motorsport’s golden era, Aintree offers more than just racing—it’s a living museum of speed. Frequent events celebrate the heritage of British motorsport, making it a must-visit destination for those who cherish the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber.

Whether you're reliving the glory days or creating your own high-speed memories, Aintree Motor Racing Circuit remains a jewel in the crown of the North West’s racing scene.
