Set in idyllic countryside just outside Darlington, Croft Circuit is one of the UK's great value motor racing circuits, offering technical challenges and speed thrills. A respected circuit as a host venue for the British Touring Car Championship, Rallycross, and vintage car events, Croft has become an equally 'must-visit' destination for motor sport fans and competitors alike.
Upon arrival at Croft, you're greeted by picturesque lawns, a compact but efficient pit lane, and all the amenities you need for a leisurely day at the circuit. The circuit itself is a driver's dream, offering a mix of slow, technical corners and high-speed sweepers. The start-finish straight runs directly into one of the UK's tightest corners, followed by an seemingly endless right-hander and a tight Chicane. The thrilling Jim Clark Esses, a left-right lightning-fast pair, keeps adrenaline levels high, and the Barcroft right-hander demands precision at speed.
For spectators, Croft offers a great mix of viewpoints, and it's a popular family day out and motorsport spectator day. The campsite on the track gives convenience for multi-day events, and the mood is always charged.
Driving experiences at Croft are on offer to cater for all levels, with the opportunity to drive anything from Porsche Caymans and racing cars to Caterham Sevens. Junior drivers are even accommodated, with the opportunity to drive a MINI Cooper and begin their motorsport career. Bike and car track days are also hosted throughout the year, giving drivers plenty of opportunities to test their skills.
Croft's versatility extends beyond motorsport and is a favorite corporate events venue. With the amount of function rooms and the central location close to the A1 and A19, it's an accessible and convenient site for company away-days or entertaining clients.
With its blend of history, exciting racing, and warm hospitality, Croft Circuit is more than just a track - it’s a hub for motorsport passion. Whether you’re there to watch, race, or learn, Croft delivers a thrilling experience every time.
