Set on the west coast of Anglesey, overlooking the Irish Sea and the Snowdonia mountain range beyond, Anglesey Circuit provides visitors with a challenging and exciting circuit in a breath taking location. Whether you are visiting the Circuit as a driver or spectator you are assured of a day to remember. It is one of the few circuits to be designed and constructed with an entirely new concept. They have taken full advantage of the undulating landscape and created a circuit with imaginative cambers, a blend of fast sections, technically challenging mid range corners complemented with two hairpin bends and a 10% banked corner. With its remarkably smooth surface and a minimum width of 12 metres, the circuit is an outstanding venue for amateur and seasoned drivers alike. Spectators can enjoy all the action from a variety of vantage points, including the elevated position above the Corkscrew and at Peel and Rocket. The recently developed area from The Banking, through Church and beyond makes viewing possible from virtually the entire circuit perimeter. Anglesey Circuit will have something to offer.
