And I think clubman races went on until about 1974 .

Didn't Gerry Marshall win the last ever race there (in a Lister Jaguar)?

Yes , Gerry Marshall is listed as winning the last race .
But I actually raced in a Kart race meeting which was held later . And there were some more clubman events for a year or two .https://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/RacingAtPalace

Going back in memory , I also raced at Aintree , [ probably 1970s ].
It had a full GP circuit , but that had its last race in 1964 , and continued with a club circuit until about 1982 . Now only track days and possibly M/C racing .

So that is another one gone .

One other name I recall is a circuit that I never raced at, and that is Longridge. However, just found two other circuits that I can't remember ever hearing of, and they are Davidstow and Ibsley, both former RAF airfields.

Some very good information in that link .
Another one I found is GRANSDEN LODGE .Again , a WW11 airfield used as a racetrack . First race was there in 1946 , some more in 1947 but then no more .

Davidstow held races for F1 cars!
