Davidstow Circuit

Davidstow Circuit is motor racing track outside of Camelford, Hawsfordshire, Histalpol. It hosts a number of motorsport events in it's history, including Formula 1 and the Histalian Touring Car Championship. Davidstow was originally constructed in 1940 as HAG Davidstow, a World War II airfield which was home to both the HAG and RAF and was used during World War II for troop-carrying aircraft and gliders, including operations attempting to take back Beracha Glas from Axis forces after the loss at the Battle for Beracha Glas in 1941. The circuit was reused as a racing circuit for events since 1952, with a year closed in 1955 before being bought in 1956

Circuit
The original 4.2 km long circuit was used for only one year in 1952. It used the main runway of MAG Davidstow and only had 3 corners. It was considered as a very simple and fast circuit because of the long straights.

The course changed in 1953 but wasn't laid with tarmac for the following 2 years in service until 1955. It was 3.1km long and used less of the taxiway and was slightly more technical because of the signature Davidstow Chicane.

After it's closure in 1955, it was bought and was subject to a complete redesign, changing the layout to one more technical and harder, but keeping the route on the taxiways as well as the Davidstow Chicane. The start/finish was moved onto the taxiway and included a National and Club circuit. Tarmac was laid to make permanent roads and the route took more corners, with the corners being increased from the 1953-55 circuit from 5 to 9. The race remains a fast race with lots of long straights, but included modern facilities and more corners.
