Brooklands at Weybridge in Surrey was the worlds first purpose built motor racing circuit constructed in 1907 by wealthy landowner Hugh Locke King. The circuit was the birthplace of British Motorsport, the track being 2.75 miles long and was also the location one of Britains first airfields.

The site is now a museum for motorsport and aircraft.
