"Rockingham Motor Speedway is Europes fastest motor racing circuit located in Corby, Northamptonshire.
The Speedway is really easy to get to. The nearest train station is Kettering, with Market Harborough, Leicester and Peterborough not too far away. Bus services run to Corby itself. If you are driving, the A14 is a great link road out to Corby and there is loads of parking at the track.
There are fantastic days out for all the family. The biggest series is the Days of Thunder. They are the European version of Nascars. These feature once a month, on the first weekend of the month. Friday is practise for the cars, Saturday is qualifying, and Sunday is the big day - Race day!
There have been many music acts, such as Rachael Stevens, Big Brovaz, 50 cent, Blue, Peter Andre, but by far the best was The Darkness, who actually run their own car in the series, with Liberty X also and act, as well as a major sponser.
Rocingham Speedway also hosts superbike racing days and you can also hire a car and drive for the first time (great if you are under 17) and you can also hire lots of cars from a ferrari, lotus to a super fast forumla racing car.
I really recommend this place as a fun, family day out, for everyone in your family."
