Ellough Park

About Ellough Park

Ellough Park Raceway is a kart racing track in Ellough in the English county of Suffolk. It is located around 2mi south-east of the market town of Beccles. It is primarily used for kart racing as it is a fast, but tight and twisty circuit. The track, which is fully floodlit, has existed on the old Ellough Airfield since the early 1960s, but was not fully developed until 2000, when ex-Formula 1 driver Jackie Oliver opened the circuit. The authorities at the circuit extended it in 2007, from 800m to just over 1000m to make it more suitable for other forms of kart and minimoto racing. The circuit was extended further in 2010 to incorporate a new pits complex and add extra paddock space for hosting the Formula Kart Stars championship. Today, the track plays host to national and local kart championships, as well as charity events, stag parties and corporate days which use the arrive and drive facilities at the track. A small clubhouse and changing facilities are available.
