History

• This specatacular circuit was constructed during 2007 for the MX Grand Prix held on August Bank Holiday. Top track builder, Justin Barclay, used thousand of tons of soil to construct the circuit for that event. Now Justin has been engaged by Donington Park Leisure Ltd and ACU Events Ltd to use the knowledge he gained from watching the racing at the GP to develope overtaking lines even more. The whole of the paddock is now adjacent to the circuit which also allows specatators free access and the viewing areas have been enhanced with the old finish plateau opened up to allow 100% viewing.

History

• This venue was last used for a Maxxis British Championship round (THQ were then the title sponsors) in 2001 when some fantastic racing was witnessed by the large spectators as it was the final round of the season. Since this event, a new set of nine whoops have been constructed to replace a table top section and some other technical parts have been added. Access and egress to the circuit for large transporters has been improved and the spectator areas offer excellent visibility. The circuit has hosted MMX British Championship rounds in recent years and now ACU Events have employed Justin Barclay to put the finishing touches to the track.

History

• The course at Swanley, Kent known as Canada Heights, acquired its name during the 1914-18 War when a large contingent of Canadian troops were camped there on the high ground. It has, however been in regular use for off-road motorcycle sports for many years, and by the Sidcup and District Motorcycle Club since 1938. Over the years, the circuit has hosted many events, from Club level to International status. It drew large crowds and national television coverage with the BBC "Grandstand Trophy" events during the 1960s. Despite its popularity and regular use by riders and spectators alike, it still remained just a rough piece of land for motorcycling until 1985, when the Sidcup Club bought it with the aid of a Sports Council grant and sponsorship from companies and individuals. Once purchased, the Club members set about transforming the whole area including development of access roads and clearing for spectator viewing and parking. During recent years, the land has been dramatically improved, but never at the expense of the beautiful countryside and wildlife. The land has been properly managed, with many new trees planted as the Club continues to develop the "South's Most Spectacular Circuit".
