Rockingham was Britain' first full sized oval speedway since Brooklands and also the first ground-up purpose-built circuit in England since its illustrious forefather. While the circuit has seen oval racing action of the highest standard in its past, hopes of establishing a European base for American-style oval racing quickly faded and today it is the infield road course which sees majority of the action. The circuit began with more modest ambitions, one man's idea to turn the derelict wastelands of a former steelworks at Corby in Northamptonshire into a test track. Peter Davies was an entrepreneur who had dabbled with racing at an earlier age when, upon seeing the old abandoned industrial land, sensed there was an opportunity. |
