In the 1940's Llandow was a Second World War airfield home Mark 1 & 2 Spitfires and part of the Canadian Air Force. After being decommissioned by the Air Ministry in 1957, the site was offered for sale by auction in 1961. Jack Evans, a local farmer with a vision for the future bought an 80-acre parcel, which included stretches of runway air raid shelters and retractable gun turrets. With the help of the South Wales Automobile Club he linked the runways to form a 1-mile oval circuit and Llandow Race Circuit was created. The Circuit was opened in 1963 by Graham Hill and in the hay days of the mid 60's & early 70's both car and motorbike racing were regular events drawing crowds of 3 - 4,000. Entries from budding stars such as Roger Clark, Jody Schuter and Andy Rause cut their teeth in those early days at the Circuit.
A period of uncertainty followed in the 1980's when stock car racing, grass tracking and a sheep obstacle course become the more usual uses for the tarmac, which was by now showing it's age and become tired. A race and rally school, the addition of a Go Kart track and some general testing kept the site ticking over until the owners, the descendents of Jack Evans, took the plunge and resurfaced the track with a 9 metre wide strip of quality tarmac. The lumps and bumps were smoothed out, a few interesting bends added and most importantly the sheep removed!! The ongoing up grade to the infrastructure continues and regular users of the Circuit are seeing a continuing programme on improvements. A Motor Sport Association Sprint licence was re established in March 2001 following the resurfacing work and the addition of extra runoff areas! The circuit is now a popular venue for track days.
