Oval Raceway
The Oval Raceway, also known as the Angmering Motor Sports Centre or Angmering Raceway was a motor racing circuit on the outskirts of Angmering, near Worthing, West Sussex in the United Kingdom that closed on Sunday 27 November 2022 to make way for a new housing development.
The 25-acre (100,000 m) site was started by local man Jim Hazelgrove and is focused on a 0.25 miles (0.40 km) concrete banked oval track, inside of which is a smaller circuit for go-karts, mini motos and pit bikes. The main track primarily hosts stock car, hot rod and banger racing, as well as special events such as demolition derbies caravan racing and car jumps.
Types of racing
The primary type of racing at the track is the racing of stock cars on the banked concrete oval, and this has a number of subdivisions including hot rods, saloon stock cars and bangers.
There are also races of specialist classes such as classic stock cars.
