MALLORY PARK

"Mallory Park" is situated in the rural countryside of Leicestershire and sited in the grounds of a 200 acre ancient estate once owned by the Noel family.

The track itself lies within a natural basin making it an ideal viewing venue. The circuit we know today was opened before a crowd of 20,000 on the 13th of May 1956. Many great races would take place over the years, but with being limited to only 30 meetings a year and with attendances steadily falling in the late 70’s early 80’s, Mallory Park, on the 31st of October 1982 gave notice that it was due to close. The prospect for any future racing looked bleak.

Then in February 1983, Titan Properties Ltd. a Leeds based company agreed to buy the estate from Grovewood Securities, a leisure company that already owned Oulton Park, Snetterton and Brands Hatch who had maintained Mallory, so ensuring the continuation of motor sport at Kirkby Mallory.

On 12th January 2005 BARC Ltd announced the purchase of Mallory Park (Motorsport) Ltd from Titan Properties. Therefore, in safe hands, - the fast, simple venue that provides spectacular motor racing looks forward to its next half century.
