Claydon House, Middle Claydon, Buckinghamshire
Round 4 of the National Racing championships
12th, 13th July 2008.
Set in the beautiful grounds of Claydon House, this race site is perfect for drivers and spectators alike. The river bank rising up towards the house lends itself superbly for spectator viewing, with a view the length of the water section, as well as both land/water transitions, and most of the land sections. From a drivers point of view, the undulating terrain and numerous obstacles require considerable skill, especially with the challenging land/water transitions at either end of the water section.
