Oulton's postcode is CW6 9BW
Go to
www.theaa.com and chuck your postcode in to work out the distance (The journey times are rather pessimistic in my experience)

Fook me guys, this is the closest event I've ever been able to get to. Please book this at Anglesey track next time, that's only 5 miles from me, I could get used to short distance bursts to events!

Enough
As it's open pit the circuit can take a lot, up to 100 IIRC.
