Croft Circuit Manager - Tracey Morley - July and August update | Racing at Croft can be traced back as far as the 1920s, when cars were in their infancy. But it was World War II which signified Croft's partnership with automata. In 1997 the circuit underwent a major transformation - extending the circuit to 2.127 miles - sixty per cent of the new circuit is built on old runways, with foundations and drainage already in place- constructing a control tower, pit and paddock complex and landscaping new trackside spectator area. The £1.5 million investment heralded the return of top class motor sport in the North East, a new beginning in Croft's chequered history. Croft Circuit offers the best driving experiences in the North of England. We offer good quality, value for money experiences, with hundreds of happy customers visiting us each year. Whether you just want to indulge yourself or buy a gift for someone else, simply choose your driving experience from our range then call us on 01325 721815 or book online today. www.croftcircuit.co.uk | 14 7 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
