Aintree race course is a British horse racing venue in Aintree, near Liverpool, on Merseyside. The course is home to the world-renowned Grand National steeplechase. During the 1950s and 60s, there was also a popular motor racing circuit on the same site, using some of the same grandstands as the horse race. The venue hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961, and 1962; a version of the course is still in occasional use as a club motor racing circuit.
