Cadwell Park Information

Set in the Lincolnshire Wolds, this 'mini-Nurburemberg' is one of Britain's most picturesque and spectacular, but dangerous circuits. its climbs and decents combine demanding twisty woodland sections with long fast curves on the downland summit. For the most part the circuit is narrow, demanding inch perfect lines which Cadwells notorious bumps and jumps do their best to upset.

The Mountain is probably unique amongst the world's racetracks. So many bikes become airborne there that it seems almost unnecessary to surface the succeeding yards. Charlies is a fast, blind, double apex right-hander with mountainous bumps just where you need them least. The Gooseneck, where the track makes a twisting descent from the plateau, is almost as spectacular but infinitely more tricky. Meanwhile Chris Curve, just before Gooseneck sees the Super bikes accelerating hard on full lean for what seems like forever. Grip is generally good, although care should be exercised in damp conditions under trees in the Woodland section. For 1997, new tarmac was laid at the Club Circuit start/finish, and at portions of Charlies, Park, Mansfield and the Hairpin. For 2000 the dangerous Barn corner was reprofiled, ostensibly to make it safer. The result was a faster corner with no run-off which lowered lap times but also increased the odds of serious injury in the event of an accident. Gearing is straightforward on most bikes: gear for the top straight.
For the spectator there can be few more exhilarating prospects than a trip to Cadwell on a sunny day - not least because many of the roads leading there offer their own excitement. The track itself offers superb viewing, usually at close quarters. Recent years have brought a number of improvements in facilities, but a degree of self-sufficiency is still required. Thankfully scenic Cadwell is an ideal place for a picnic. Cadwell could be inline for some serious improvements if the circuit is opened up to formula 3 racing  as Johnathan Palmer has already hinted so who knows?

2008 onwards will see some big improvements at Cadwell Park as Jonathan Palmer has also announced investment planned on the viewing area and restaurant facilities plus widening of the track.  

  Cadwell Park - Facilities

Food and Drink
Cadwell Park boasts a restaurant and a licensed bar in The Clubhouse. The food is ok and it's  fairly spacious too with a TV and lounge bar. Definitely a good place to head for when it's raining. The toilets at the clubhouse are the only ones suitable for ladies! 

Toilets
Toilets are located in the Paddock and The Clubhouse. Around the circuit toilet facilities are located on the outside before Coppice, on the outside of Park Straight and between Mansfield and The Mountain.
