Route information

🏎️ Course Details: The Anatomy of a Speed Circuit

Built for high-performance motorsport, Oulton Park offers a wide, ultra-smooth, car-free race track that delivers an unmatched multi-sport experience. Forget tight street corners, broken asphalt, and public traffic—this course is engineered purely for flow, rhythm, and personal records.

🏃‍♂️ The Run Course (Laps on the Circuit)

The Surface: 100% wide, immaculate motorsport tarmac. Smooth underfoot with zero trail mud, uneven paving, or curbs to trip over.

The Profile: Gently undulating with rolling, momentum-friendly rises. You'll charge through famous track sections like Deer Leap and fly down The Avenue.

The Vibe: Completely traffic-free with sweeping sightlines, allowing you to lock onto the runner ahead and lock into a consistent pacing rhythm.

🚴‍♂️ The Bike Course (High-Grip, Closed Tarmac)

The Surface: Specialized high-friction, fast-draining asphalt designed for race cars at 150mph. Exceptional grip in both wet and dry autumn conditions—zero slick drain covers or gravel traps.

The Profile: Smooth, sweeping curves with banked corners like Druids that let you hold speed and lean in with confidence.

The Aero Advantage: Because the track is 100% closed to traffic with zero road junctions or traffic lights, you can stay tucked in aero position for miles at a time without having to cover your brakes.

⛺ The Transition Area (Authentic F1 Pit Lane)

Location: Inside the genuine Oulton Park pit lane, sheltered right in front of the team garages.

Underfoot: Flat, dry, polished concrete—no slipping on wet grass, wrestling with mud-bogged racking, or stepping on sharp stones in your socks.
