Circuit
Anglesey Circuit, known in Welsh as Trac Môn, is a motor-racing circuit at Ty Croes on the island of Anglesey in north Wales. It opened in 1997 on the site of a former British Army and RAF airfield decommissioned five years earlier, with the Wirral 100 Motor Club among the first to race there. A 2006 redevelopment replaced the original 1997–2005 layout with four configurations still in use today: the 3.380 km, 11-turn International GP Circuit, which forms the main layout; the 2.494 km, 10-turn Coastal Circuit, noted for a downhill chicane known as the Corkscrew; the 1.931 km National Circuit; and the 1.287 km Club Circuit. One straight is named for the Welsh Formula One driver Tom Pryce, and the circuit has staged the Tom Pryce Memorial Trophy since 2019. Its principal annual fixture, the Race of Remembrance endurance race, has run at the circuit since 2014. Anglesey also hosts club car racing, car-club sprint events, motorcycle racing and track days, and has previously staged the British Drift Championship.

History
Anglesey Circuit opened in 1997 on a former British Army and RAF airfield at Ty Croes that had been decommissioned in 1992. The Wirral 100 Motor Club was among the first to race there, with early meetings mostly motorcycle events before the venue later joined the British Rallycross Championship. A 2006 redevelopment scrapped the original circuit and built the four layouts used today. A straight is named after the Welsh Formula One driver Tom Pryce, commemorated since 2019 in the Tom Pryce Memorial Trophy, and the circuit has staged the Race of Remembrance endurance race, its main annual fixture, since 2014.
The circuit
Anglesey offers four configurations sharing one paddock and pit complex. The International GP Circuit is the longest and most used, at 3.380 km with 11 turns. The Coastal Circuit (2.494 km, 10 turns) trades part of the lap for a downhill chicane known as the Corkscrew. The National Circuit (1.931 km, 6 turns) and the shorter Club Circuit (1.287 km, 4 turns) are used for smaller club and novice sessions.
