Mallory Park GP

Mallory Park is a racetrack in Leicestershire, England. It has a one-mile oval configuration and a 1.35-mile road course configuration. Both layouts surround a lake which spectators can take boats on to watch the race. The oval has been described as "very road-course like" because unlike most ovals it has no banking and has road course like run off. It held its first VSCC race in 2011.

The Dash Cup race in 2012 was marred by accidents, as was the VERC race there in which Kristjian Jankovic lost his life in an accident. These events led numerous drivers, most notably Vijay Pushanda and Cameron Taylor to state that stock car series should not race there, although it is more likely that the severity of these accidents was related to driver incompetence and not the track itself. Taylor was involved in the accident that killed Jankovic, but was unhurt.
