Croft Circuit is a 2.127-mile motorsport venue in North Yorkshire, built on the grounds of the former RAF Croft airfield. Originally used as a bomber base during World War II, the site transitioned into motorsport shortly after the war, with organized racing beginning in the late 1940s.
The modern circuit took shape in the 1960s and grew into a staple of British motorsport, hosting categories such as the British Touring Car Championship, British Rallycross, and national-level racing. Rallycross played a major role in Croft’s legacy, with televised events through the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.
A major redevelopment in 1997 extended the track, upgraded facilities, and re-established Croft as a premier venue. Today, it remains a demanding, technical circuit known for BTCC events, Formula 4, Rallycross, and a long history of developing UK racing talent.
