It is best known as the site of the racecourse that has since the 19th century staged the Grand National horse race. During the 1950s and 60s, there was also a motor racing circuit on the site, which used some of the same grandstands as the horse race, and the British Grand Prix was staged there on several occasions. A smaller version of the motor racing circuit survives today.
