Forgotten Race Tracks - Gransden Lodge Cambridgeshire 

Re-watching this in August 2024, now standing at 138,000 Subscribers🎉. Well deserved,mate.👍

Gotta love how this series is actually a low key history of abandoned WW2 airfields

500 subscribers! Mad how you’ve grown since! :)

26 March 2023: Congratulations on reaching 508 Subscribers Jon. Stick with it fella, I can see you easily passing 600 🙂

In 6 months it’s gone from 500 subscribers to 45.3k! And you really deserve it! Haha love the ‘small disagreement’ reference 🤣 excellent video.

A very underrated (currently) series. Visiting forgotten race circuits is such a good idea for racing fans!!!!!

From 500 to 144,000 in 2 years - good work!

500 subs? I joined 4 days ago at 7.5k and it’s now 11.5k subs! Keep up the great work John.

Just found the your channel, love lil obscure bits like this

September 2024, 142k subscribers! Love the Vids fella!!

Kimbolton Banger Racing Club Track is behind Bicton Ind Est at PE280LF I used to go and watch with my Dad, in the late 70s & early 80s As a boy of 5 years old it was fantastic,and started me on my Oval Racing journey at an early age. Now a man of 50, I look back with great fondness of these times,and all the great memories from this forgotten venue. They used to have three formulas race at Kimbolton as a regular thing, Bangers, Hotrods, and Mini Contact. I do remember Grand Prix Midgets also, but they may have been guests at various times. Go and walk the track. It's the shortest small Oval in England, and it still there under the Grass ,Mud and Weeds. I walked it with my Daughter, not so long back. Their are a few remains of buildings on site, but be careful, they are very week. Good luck Sir Report back 👍👍👍👍 Garry Witcomb Classic Hotrod 3 Autograss SN75 National Banger 30 Rookie Banger 3

Hilarious out takes! 😆 Amazing the history that’s now under farmland

great series!

Great video as always mate and another intresting and informative video. And love the out takes mate.

Excellent , thanks John.

You'd be a much better presenter on that old show known as "Top Gear" than what I've seen of a lot of them. Not that there aren't some great ones but some of them SHEESH! But what do I know I'm a Canadian (Other wise now known as Chinanda due to the evil....oops none of that NOW!). Anyway you're concise deliberate and funny with a shot of cheek (as you Brit's might say) and it's very entertaining. Thank You! All the best and all the success! Subbed!

Need a colab with the map men or Tom Scott to get this channel out there to the right audience

There was a thing in WW2 called the Gransden Lodge Modification. If I remember right it was something to do with bomber turrets, they cut away some of the perspex so the gunner was exposed more to the freezing conditions but would have a better view of the nightfighter.

Excellent video. That's my village that is! Can just about see the gliding club from our upstairs window.

Excellent video. I really enjoy your presentation style, or lack of.

I love looking at these locations on Google earth. If you use the timeline feature you can go back to 1945. You can definitely see some buildings that aren't there now.

I work just across the road from there so I know of it It was very nearly going to be made into a purpose built GP circuit, but apparently Silverstone won the bid or got the contract “or something like that”

Saw this from the air when i went flying out of Little Gransden a few weeks ago

Keep up the good work!

Hey Jon, recently found your channel as I’ve had a bit of time on my hands thanks to the dreaded ‘C’ virus. You’ve kept me entertained and I think I’ve watched all of the videos you have uploaded 🤣🤣, so thank you for your time and efforts 👍🏼 Just wondering if your going to race Mother Nature this year? I have a mildly modified 252,000 mile 2006 e61 530d that I want to see if it can make it, or send me your time and I’ll try and beat that 😬😂 Cheers again 👍🏼

Grew up near here never knew of this

Local to me! Nice find bud.😀

Just on my doorstep Many memories from this area Have you explored Kimbolton Banger RACING Track ? It's still there, walked it couple of years ago Go and report,that would be Awsome 😆👍👍👍👍

A slight disagreement 😂 excellent channel and wonderful sense of humour.

Wartime ghosties at GL.

Gransden Lodge. Now home to the most cliquey unwelcoming gliding club in the world.

pointless lol
