THREE SISTERS RACE CIRCUIT – LEASEHOLDER STATEMENT

The leaseholder of Three Sisters Race Circuit, Motor Circuit Management Ltd (MCM) confirms it was advised yesterday that the circuit operating company The Racing School has gone into liquidation.

MCM is aware that all the permanent and casual staff were made redundant and as lease holder we were advised that the operator was no longer in a position to operate the circuit under our agreements.

As a result MCM is urgently looking to put in place either a new circuit operator or management in order to re-open the circuit. As soon as we are in a position to confirm a re-opening date a further press release will be issued.

Can we thank the fans and customers of Three Sisters Race Circuit for their support and understanding during this difficult time and reassure the public that we are doing all we can to step in to re-employ the many staff whose livelihoods depend on the circuit and to ensure this valuable North West facility remains operational.

Given the staff shortages there is no one manning the phones or circuit and any updates will be communicated via the Three Sisters Facebook page at the present time.

Three Sisters is known as ‘The Jewel of the North’ within the motorsport fraternity. As the North West’s premier outdoor circuit it is approved by the Motor Sport Association to host international karting events.

Three Sisters Karting

The top racing drivers in the world share one thing in common. They all learnt their trade competing in the ‘Hundred thrills per minute’ world of go-karting. With outdoor karting considered a step-up from indoor karting as it gives a real feel of the adrenaline fuelled racing that the professionals experience at every event, Wigan’s Three Sisters circuit is perfect for novices and aspiring racing drivers. Our fleet of Le Mans Twin karts are powered by two Honda GX200 engines giving both low level torque and high end speed, yet their two pedal operation ensures they are still easy to control.

At Three Sisters we offer a range of karting formats including Blast Nights (All slots for blasts nights need to be booked and paid in advance), Grand Prix Heats, Open and Team Endurance racing and so much more.

It is now mandatory for customers to wear a balaclava with their helmets either your own or you can buy a Three Sisters balaclava for £2.50 on the night.
