Oulton is also a home round for Speedworks Motorsport, the team behind TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK. Their workshop is based just ten miles from the circuit, meaning there’s always a strong local crowd backing them and a sense of pride when they hit the podium on home turf.
For fans, the circuit is a gem. Spectators can see multiple corners from many areas, the paddock is usually open for access, and the atmosphere has a proper community feel. Whether you’re a lifelong BTCC fan or watching for the first time, Oulton delivers everything you want from a race weekend – close racing, passionate supporters and a serious dose of motorsport heritage.
It’s the perfect place for a debut. And for Finn Leslie, there’s no better stage to start his BTCC story.
Set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, Oulton Park is one of the UK’s most picturesque and technically demanding race circuits. With its tree-lined layout, natural elevation changes and tight, flowing corners, it offers a true challenge to drivers and one of the best viewing experiences for fans.
Originally a stately home estate, the circuit first hosted racing in 1953 and has since become a staple on the British Touring Car Championship calendar. It’s a favourite among drivers thanks to its old-school character – there’s no vast run-off or margin for error here. If you make a mistake at Oulton, the barriers are never far away.
The 2.26-mile International Circuit layout includes iconic corners like Old Hall, Island Bend and Druids, each with its own personality and demands. It’s a track that rewards precision, confidence and commitment – and punishes hesitation.
