Most popular is viewing from the top of the hill overlooking almost all the track. Commentary, digital timing displays, programme and paddock access all included
Accessibility
Spectator accessibility notes: All of the site is on a hillside with viewing areas and paddock a mixture of tarmac paths and well kept grass areas. Generally the closer you get to the track the steeper the slope, however there is a level area of concrete cut into the hillside.
