Three Sisters Race Circuit closes

The Three Sisters Race Circuit near Wigan has closed for the foreseeable future and staff have been made redundant. Inevitably, the unexpected closure has caused public outcry.

Coun Bob Brierly, a long-term supporter of the race track who also raises money to provide karts, spoke about the future of the facility: “This is my passion. It’s the Three Sisters complex, it was built for motorsports. It cannot be sold off under the localism act. It’s a community asset and it’s too important to people for it to go.”

Mark Foulston explained that as the leaseholder of the facilities, Motorsport Circuit Management is now owed £700,000 by the tenant, Three Sisters Racing Circuit Ltd.

Despite the unusual circumstances – the good news is that Motorsport Circuit Management is looking to put in place a new circuit operator in order to reopen the circuit as quickly as possible. As soon as they are in a position to confirm a reopening date.
