About Castle Combe Circuit
Castle Combe Circuit is a high-speed race track located near the village of Castle Combe in Wiltshire, England. Opened in 1950, it is one of the UK’s fastest permanent racing circuits and is renowned for its flowing layout, minimal run-off areas and old-school character. Unlike many modern circuits that rely on chicanes to control speed, Castle Combe retains a largely uninterrupted high-speed lap, demanding precision, commitment and mechanical sympathy from drivers. This makes it particularly popular with experienced competitors and performance car enthusiasts. The circuit is used heavily for club racing, track days, car and motorcycle testing, and driver tuition. It also hosts a wide range of national championships and historic racing throughout the season. Castle Combe remains independently operated and retains a strong grassroots motorsport focus, with a busy calendar that runs from spring through late autumn.
