The Festival website states that the general campsite is open from Friday lunchtime so you should be OK. Link here:

Does anyone know which circuit is in use next week?

[Simon G]

Yes, Brands Hatch! Sorry. I think it's the full GP Circuit. It was last year anyway.

Thanks Simon, just trying to work out some plans for next week and couldn't find anything on their website about which circuit

I still have a few vehicle passes for any one still interested in coming along at the weekend. The vehicle pass can be used to access the display area and get your car on to the club stand. It will be necessary however to pay the standard entry price on the gate.

Hi All,

Firstly I have been getting plenty of calls and emails with regards to what is happening over the weekend.
It seems that many have never been to a Race Circuit before and are quite unaware of what to expect.
Now I will not be clever and say Racing but it occurred to me that others may be in the same boat!
There is a certain do's and dont's that you must be aware of.
I will not go into it except to say if you are a novice then please make it your mission to find out over the next few days.
One thing I will say is DO NOT bring any animals with you as you will be refused entry by the circuit! This is a no ifs or buts it is categorically a NO!

Secondly as there will be potentially 80 cars on the stand and the campsite is extremely close I appeal to you to leave your car on the stand overnight. It will be a logistical nightmare to move that many cars and we have been asked by the organisers to impress this upon you. It will also be difficult for anyone trying to get back on the stand on the Sunday with the new Sunday arrivals.

Your cooperation in this will be much appreciated by ourselves!

Couple of speed cameras to watch out for on the way in as well, so take it easy once off the motorway coming from either way. Apart from that the kentagon (the onsite pub) serves guiness as is generally a good night out, it's expensive beer in the hotel by the entrance but always worth having one in there just to check out the decor and automobila scattered around. There is a good fish and chip shop and and convience shop nearby (exit left from the track and I think it's the second or third left). But as stated above don't try and move during show hours and try and get there nice and early or the night before.
See you there..Louis

We have recently received some additional vehicle passes which has increased the numbers attending. If everyone turns up we should have 88 cars on the Saturday and an additional 16 on the Sunday making a total of 104 cars
