I was talking to someone at work today who lives in Rockingham town/village and they said that they had heard it was to shut next year. Is it likely and how much did it cost to build plus does anybody know who owns it?

Bizarre history to this place.

Built for NASCAR's expansion in to Europe which just seems never to have happened.

The owners had no deal with NASCAR when it was built but seem to have been pursuing one for years.

As far as I am aware it was whole sold to a property developer in 2005 who'se planning 5,000 homes on the land owned by the company and the track itself was leased back to the previous owners who are still chasing NASCAR.

Maybe the lease runs out next year?

All Rather odd. If anyone knows the full story I would be happy to hear it.

had attended rockingham when they did a CART race. it was embarrising in a way that they had to use jet heaters to dry the track after a heavy rainfall. something to do with poor drainage. my biggest complaint was the routes going in and out was horrendous
