The rural roads around Oulton Park don’t give away that you’re in close proximity to one of British motorsport’s finest circuits. Approaching its 70th birthday next year, the Cheshire circuit first opened in 1953 is a firm drivers’ favourite with its blend of fast, flowing corners - several of them blind - crests and dips and unforgiving grass-lined exterior. And it’s immediately singled out as the favourite of a driver who has raced it in four different forms.
Sportscar and tin-top racing veteran Peter Kox first encountered Oulton Park in the 1987 British Formula 3 championship, won there in 1992 after the Hislops chicane was installed, and also raced on the shortened Island and Fosters layouts in the British Touring Car Championship.
