SIGN UP HERE GRAND PRIX OF ZANDVOORT Oulton Park in Cheshire is the second North West track that hosted Formula One races from 1954 to 1972. However, unlike Aintree, this track never hosted an official Grand Prix. Instead, it hosted the Gold Cup, a non-championship event on the F1 calendar. Once the grounds of Oulton Hall, which burned down in 1926, Oulton Park sits within a beautiful parkland setting as the most picturesque motor racing circuit in the UK. Oulton Park in the 1950s transformed from war-damaged parkland into a significant motor racing venue, with the Mid-Cheshire Car Club holding the first races in 1953, quickly attracting Formula 1 teams and legends like Stirling Moss, hosting the non-championship International Gold Cup, and featuring early club races and sidecar events on its original, nearly rectangular layout.

The use of the Esc key in Qualification Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time: 1. You run out of fuel in the pit lane before reaching your pit stall. 2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane. If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track. 6. You can find the password for the race server on the Zandvoort event page. 7. Unregistering in time if you can't make it. 8.
