The current club building was built in 1987/88, replacing earlier wooden structures. A famous concrete sided café gave rise to the corner of that name, built to replace a big wooden shed. The café no longer exists, but the club has built new toilets and a members room nearby to Café corner which was fully opened in 2004.

'Sheny', as it is affectionately known, is considered one of Britain's premier circuits, with many famous drivers having raced there. Nigel Mansell, of Formula 1 fame, raced regularly in the 210cc gearbox class after graduating from juniors. David Coulthard, Jenson Button and Anthony Davidson, current Formula 1 aces, visited with championship series. Johnny Herbert was another famous name to race at Shenington. The club has produced many famous drivers, both in karting and motor racing. The circuit is registered as a Grade 3 heritage motor racing venue in LARA’s (Land Access and Recreation Association) register.
