Yes, we used to park up on the level concrete bit in front of the storage barn, (which is now Starkeys Bar) up above Starkeys bridge on the outside. It was a good spot, but apparently we weren't allowed to drive around and park up there, despite having been there for several meets over a few years. Got turfed off eventually.

See you all at 10am

If you can actually get there then yes. There is limited access at the moment and no access to the infield.

[BelperJim]

I received my tickets in the post yesterday. Included was a printed map and it said the infield was out of bounds but nothing about restricted access on the outfield. I guess we will find out on Sunday!

[Balmoral Green]

Looks like we'll be in for a bit of 'wet' action, the forecast is 'Pissing it down', best bring a good coat, hat and an umbrella. Maybe some wellies too.

[BelperJim]

Let the umbrella jousting commence! Trying to navigate a golf umbrella through a crowd of people is always good sport.

[YKB]

A few of us TVR people should be there, but we've decided to go on Saturday coz it's going to be sunny. Sunday's forecast looks pretty bad....

[StuStu]

I will be in sheffield on Saturday, so will be heading down straight from there ....

SPECTATOR INFORMATION

Spectators are very welcome to come along and enjoy the return of the VSCC at Donington Park this Autumn but there is no access to the infield.


Parking Information *updated 30 September 2010*

PUBLIC CAR PARKING AT DONINGTON

Non-member parking will be outside the circuit, you will be directed upon arrival or park on the grass car parks next to the Paddock entrance.

[YKB]

We went today. The parking is next to Paddock entrance. Head for this rather than the main entrance if you're going on Sunday. It saves going round the pot-holed perimeter track

Wimp! Actually I have just got back. Got totally soaked watching two races so wimped out myself.

[Balmoral Green]

Some of us toughed it out, it's not like we didn't know it was going to rain

A nice day, I quite enjoyed it.

It was good to get home though and hang all my wet clothes up, put something dry on, and open a bottle of wine.

[StuStu]

I feel totally ashamed of my lightweight status .... if it is any compensation I ended up having to go to a supermarket, with the general public ...

[53chevy]

I decided to give it a miss too - was more a case of See Rain than See Red - glad those that went enjoyed it

[williamp]

Glad some enjoyed it. I was on a antenatal class weekend. Great fun, but very tiring.

[BelperJim]

Yeah I enjoyed it too. They should include a ford(water feature) on all new racetracks going forward.

Can't believe the mess they have made of the infield. Come on you rich Abu Dhabi'ists invest!
