Competitor notes: The paddock is inside the track so can only arrive / leave when the track is closed. There should be no problems with larger vehicles. We competed on the ‘Sprint’ layout but there are two other chicanes which may be used in other configurations.

As a spectator
Spectator notes: Multiple viewing areas around the circuit, and a footbridge over the track to get into the paddock where there is some seating and additional viewing areas.
Accessibility
Spectator accessibility notes: There is a gravel road to access many of the raised grass viewing areas around the circuit, where there are some opportunities to view from inside a vehicle. There is some seating on level ground in the paddock area, however once the track is live, then access is over a footbridge.
