'''Rockingham Motor Speedway''' was a [[motorsport]] racing venue in [[Rockingham, Northamptonshire|Rockingham]], [[Northamptonshire]], [[England]], [[United Kingdom]], near the town of [[Corby]]. It hosted professional and club races, as well as testing, track days, driver training, exhibitions and conferences. It claimed to be Europe's fastest racing circuit,<ref>{{cite web|title=Rockingham – Europe's fastest racing circuit|url=http://www.rockingham.co.uk/|work=Rockingham Motor Speedway|access-date=31 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161216174816/http://www.rockingham.co.uk/|archive-date=16 December 2016}}</ref> and was the first banked oval constructed in Britain since the closure of [[Brooklands]] in 1939.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Fox|first1=Norman|title=Herbert drive to put Rockingham on map|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/motor-racing/herbert-drive-to-put-rockingham-on-map-708722.html|work=The Independent|access-date=31 December 2016|date=29 July 2000}}</ref>

The venue entered administration in 2017 and hosted its final motor race in November 2018.<ref name=FinalRace>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-46319175|title=Rockingham Motor Speedway: Corby venue hosts final race|date=24 November 2018|publisher=BBC News|access-date=27 November 2018}}</ref> In 2021, the facility was purchased by Constellation Automotive for £80million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news-used-cars/cinch-owner-buys-rockingham-motor-speedway-80-million|title=Cinch owner buys Rockingham Motor Speedway for £80 million|publisher=Autocar|access-date=25 August 2022}}</ref>

==History==
Construction of Rockingham started late in 1999, with the opening meeting planned for May 2001.<ref name="Swinger"/>

Rockingham Motor Speedway was constructed on a British Steel works ''[[brownfield status|brown field]]'' site as a banked oval with the intention of bringing the American oval racing across the Atlantic for the first time. The opportunity was taken to use the infield for further circuits.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web |url=http://www.rockingham.co.uk/about/about-rockingham.php |title=About Rockingham |access-date=1 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130704091136/http://www.rockingham.co.uk/about/about-rockingham.php |archive-date=4 July 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref name="Swinger"/>

After almost ten years of planning and 23 months of construction work, Rockingham opened for business on Monday 15 January 2001. It was formally opened by [[Elizabeth II|the Queen]] on 26 May 2001.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

After the sale of the venue, Rockingham held a "super send-off" to mark its final day as a racing circuit on 24 November 2018.<ref name=FinalRace/> The circuit was sold to Rockingham Automotive Limited, who used the facility for vehicle storage and logistics.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-56104281|title=Rockingham: Ex-racetrack used to store thousands of vehicles|work=BBC News |date=18 February 2021 |publisher=BBC|access-date=25 August 2022}}</ref> In mid-2021, Constellation Automotive who own brands such as Cinch, and We Buy Any Car purchased the site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/bca-and-cinch-owner-buys-up-rockingham-motor-speedway/225902|title=BCA and Cinch owner buys up Rockingham Motor Speedway|date=14 June 2021 |publisher=Car Dealer Magazine|access-date=25 August 2022}}</ref>

Since then, Constellation Automotive's online car sales brand, [[Cinch (company)|Cinch]], has used the circuit to film YouTube content,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/cinch|title=Cinch YouTube channel|publisher=YouTube.com|access-date=21 June 2023}}</ref> including car reviews and lap time challenges, titled on its channel as 'Fast Laps'. Cinch Motoring Editor, Sam Sheehan, has driven cars ranging from the Hyundai i20N hot hatch to a road-legal track car produced by Spartan Motor Company.

Sheehan used the Spartan to set an overall lap record for Rockingham's National Circuit on 26 May 2023, beating the previous fastest time of 1:14.20, set by a Palmer Jaguar JP1 prototype, by five-hundredths of a second.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/rockingham-national|title=Rockingham National lap times|publisher=FastestLaps.com|access-date=21 June 2023}}</ref>

==The circuit==
[[File:Rockingham Motor Speedway aerial.jpg|thumb|Aerial of Rockingham Motor Speedway]]
Rockingham had 13 configurations of track, which could be used for anything from [[touring car racing|touring cars]] to [[motorcycle racing|motorcycles]] to [[rallying|rally cars]]. The circuit was overlooked by the 6280 seat Rockingham Building, a steel-framed, glass-fronted grandstand building containing suites, offices, bars and kitchens, and by four grandstands. Together, the building and grandstands offered a total seating capacity of 52,000. The inner pit and paddock complex was accessed from the Rockingham Building via two pedestrian tunnels and there was a further spectator viewing area on top of the pit garages.<ref name="rockingham.co.uk"/>

===The oval circuit===
The {{cvt|1.479|mi|km}} American-style banked oval circuit was {{convert|18.3|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip}} wide and had a maximum bank angle of seven degrees and comprised four very distinct corners. Rockingham's oval was unique in the UK and one of only two speedways in Europe (the other being [[Lausitzring]]). The oval circuit could also be converted to a road course layout for events by positioning temporary chicanes and curves both on the main area and apron of the circuit.{{fact|date=September 2024}}

In early September 2001, the [[Champ Car|Champ cars]] came to Germany and England for the first time, to contest oval racing at the [[German 500]] (kilometer, not miles) and the Rockingham 500, rounds of the [[2001 CART season]] (Championship Auto Racing Teams) FedEx Championship Series. After the [[11 September 2001 attacks|11 September terrorist attacks]] and subsequent closing of airspaces, but with most equipment and personnel already being in continental Europe, the first ever German 500 was held under difficult circumstances. Unreliable weather and a bad crash of Alex Zanardi did not help, either.{{fact|date=September 2024}}

The British round at the weekend of 20–22 September was in jeopardy, too. However, the logistics were worked out, with many of the teams stripping off their sponsors' logos ("livery") as a mark of respect for the victims of the attacks. The race distance was also shortened to 300&nbsp;km. Victory was snatched on the exit of Turn Four of the last lap by [[Gil de Ferran]] driving the [[Team Penske|Marlboro Team Penske]] [[Honda]]–powered [[Reynard 01I]] at a race average speed of {{cvt|153.41|mph|km/h}} from [[Kenny Bräck]] at the wheel of the [[Team Rahal]] Lola-Ford Cosworth B1/00, and the [[Newman/Haas Racing|Newman-Haas Racing]] Lola-Toyota B1/00 driven by [[Cristiano da Matta]]. The fastest lap, and therefore outright lap record, was set by [[Patrick Carpentier]] in 25.551secs ({{cvt|210.59|mph|km/h}}) in the [[Forsythe Racing|Player's Forsythe Racing]] Reynard-Cosworth. Carpentier became for first Canadian to ever hold the outright lap record at an English circuit.<ref name=Swinger>Peter Swinger, "Motor Racing Circuits in England : Then & Now" (Ian Allan Publishing, {{ISBN|0 7110 3104 5}}, 2008)</ref>

The US-based series returned in September 2002. This was the last time Champ Cars raced at this facility. The race ran over the full distance of 500&nbsp;km, Scotland's [[Dario Franchitti]] took the chequered flag in his [[Andretti Green Racing|Team KOOL Green]] Lola-Honda, beating [[Cristiano da Matta]] by just 0.986 of a second .<ref name="champcarstats.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.champcarstats.com/races/200215.htm|title=2002 Sure for Men Rockingham 500K|work=ChampCarStats.com}}</ref>

===The International Super Sportscar Circuit (ISSC)===
The ISSC was {{cvt|1.940|mi|km|abbr=on}} long and between {{cvt|11|and|18.3|m|ft|order=flip}} wide, with a maximum bank angle of seven degrees at turn one. Rockingham's International Super Sportscar Circuit was used by the Dunlop MSA [[British Touring Car Championship]], as well as for most other car race events. The circuit combined long straights, sweeping high-speed bends (including the infamous Turn 1 and Gracelands) with a lower speed, highly technical infield layout. Average lap speeds around the circuit ranged from 1m 24s in the BTCC to 1m 12s in British F3.

===Wet handling facility===
The site had a wet handling area with a kick plate which was used to simulate a variety of driving conditions including ice, rain and slippery wet leaves. These different road conditions were simulated at much slower speeds than in normal driving and in a fully controlled environment. The area was designed to give drivers a greater understanding of the latest ABS, traction control and crash mitigating technologies, and the way that they affect vehicle control.

==Lap records==

Rockingham is Europe's fastest banked oval racing circuit, with the unofficial lap record for the {{convert|1.479|mi|km|abbr=on}} oval set at 24.719 seconds by [[Tony Kanaan]] in his [[Lola B01/00]] [[Champ Car]] on 22 September 2001 – an average speed of {{convert|215.397|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}. Rockingham was the first purpose-built banked oval in the UK since [[Brooklands]] in 1907. It has an all-seating capacity of 52,000 and has both an oval and a racing circuit.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The fastest official race lap records at Rockingham Motor Speedway are listed as:

===Other events===
===The Rockingham Stages===
On 12 December 2004, the first Stage Rally, the Rockingham Stages, was held at the venue. This was jointly promoted by [[Middlesex County Automobile Club]] and [[Thame Motorsport Club]]. The two day event rapidly grew to be one of the favourite events on the British stage rally calendar. For several years it was a round of the MSN (Motor Sports News) Circuit Rally Championship.  The 2018 Rockingham Stages was the last competitive motorsport event to be held at the Speedway.

===Oval racing===
[[File:Days of Thunder Race Cars Warmup Lap Rockingham 2004.jpg|thumb|right|Days of Thunder race cars on a warmup lap for a race at Rockingham in 2004.]]
From 2001 to the end of 2007, Rockingham organised and funded American-style Stockcar racing on the oval. Originally known as [[ASCAR]], the series changed name to "Days of Thunder", and then to SCSA (Stock Car Speed Association), before re-branding to the MAC Tools V8 Trophy for its final season in 2007. All cars were UK variants of the American "ASA National-Tour" Howe Racing chassis, running with either Ford, Chevrolet or Pontiac bodies. A change of circuit ownership for 2006 saw the end of promotion and funding for the series, and low grids in 2007 led the organising club (BRSCC) to amalgamate it with a road course series, and eventually to the demise of both championships before the end of 2008.

==Other activities==
The circuit was operational 357 days a year and the majority of events that took place at the venue were not motorsport competitions. Events ranged from manufacturer product launches to dealer training, track days and testing, and corporate and experience days.

The City Auction Group holds an auction weekly at the circuit.

The [[Learning Grid]] Rockingham Festival in the first week of July promotes science and engineering to school pupils.

The venue had a sizeable showground area which has hosted the following shows:

* The French Car Show
* The Site Equipment Demonstration (SED) Show
* Greenfleet
* The LCV Show
* Stobart Fest
* Japfest 2
