Aintree is a suburb of Liverpool, in the north-west of England. The name is thought to be of Saxon origin, and mean Lone Tree
It is best known as the site of the racecourse that has since the 19th century staged the Grand National horse race. During the 1950s and 60s, there was also a motor racing circuit on the site, which used some of the same grandstands as the horse race, and the British Grand Prix was staged there on several occasions. A smaller version of the motor racing circuit survives today, and is occasionally used for club events.
