Used to park right there many weekends early '80s. Usually in a friend's knackered Mk2 Cortina or various niche Renaults. Quite a few free sprints to go to then. Sussex CC, Sutton & Cheam CC etc.
i was part of the whilst building crew who built the pits in the late 90s, sent a good few months digging the hole for the wooden supports whilst watching the test days, also there when rowan atkinson turned up with his newly acquired mcclaren f1
Used to take my Mexico there in the late 70s.I think this day was a Ferrari Owners day so i sat on the grid with the Magnum PI theme tune blaring out of the stereo
