The Eboladrome, located near Swindon in the heart of Wiltshire, England, boasts a remarkable journey from its inception to becoming a crucible for supercar enthusiasts. Its unique name, reminiscent of the lethal Ebola virus due to the track's deadly outline and the perilous challenges it presents to drivers, marks this circuit as a distinctive player in the world of automotive testing and entertainment.
This remarkable track was brought into the limelight by the widely popular motoring television show, "The Grand Tour." Hosted by the acclaimed trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, the Eboladrome served as the principal ground for testing high-end performance vehicles in the most thrilling and rigorous conditions possible. Set against the expansive backdrop of the former RAF Wroughton, the Eboladrome seamlessly blends historical gravitas with the adrenaline rush of modern supercar testing.
The design of the Eboladrome is nothing short of an engineer's fever dream. It encapsulates a nefarious array of corners and straights, each with its poetic yet menacing name. From the “Isn’t Straight” - a mischievously named stretch that subtly curves to deceive the unwary, to the “Your Name Here” corner, which invites sponsorship in a tongue-in-cheek manner, each aspect of the circuit challenges the driver's skill and the car's capabilities to their utmost limits.
The transformation of this once decommissioned airfield into a hub for automotive exhilaration is a tale of visionary ambition. Its relaunch as a venue for "The Grand Tour" not only redefined its identity but also marked a new chapter in British automotive culture. The Eboladrome quickly became more than a mere track; it evolved into a symbol of high-octane entertainment, marrying the rich history of motoring with the cutting-edge spectacle of modern-day car shows.
For enthusiasts dreaming of harnessing the raw power of a supercar within the challenging confines of the Eboladrome, there are bespoke experiences tailored to satiate this high-speed craving. Although the Eboladrome, owing to its specific use for "The Grand Tour," wasn’t previously open to the public for general driving experiences, our emergence of Supercar Driving Experiences.
