Another UK circuit set in pastoral parkland surroundings, Oulton Park, like Cadwell and Brands, has a special ambience that only a British track could possibly generate.
Oulton's character is generated by its peaks and crests and challenging layout. Indeed it is probably one of the trickier UK circuits to learn but a rewarding one to get right. Most of the corners are followed by a good long straight so it is important to get them right and so carry your speed. The Knickerbrook chicane has slowed things down a bit but this is still a circuit of high average speeds.
