I've been thinking of getting a caravan to stay in rather than a tent for race meetings at the Pod, rather than tow it to/from the track does anybody know how much it costs to store one at the place leading up to the main gate or what about the ones next to the return road beyond the scrutineering building, do the Pod do there own storage ?

Heard it was a bit pricey!
Get a tin tent (van with mattress and camp stove).

There are caravan storage sites all over the country that will provide you with varying access to the site for around £30 to £35 pcm.

These are mainly farmer's land with varying forms of security to prevent a certain section of society "borrowing" the caravans. Basically, the better the security at the storage site, the more it will cost.

This website should assist in identifying any storage sites that are close to the Pod.

The storage at Santa Pod is primarily for racers and as far as I know is full anyway, but from what I've heard the storage place on the road up to the track is reasonably priced and secure...

Thanks for that, I am race crew so will try the Pod first, you wouldn't happen to know any contact details for the entrance road place would you ? if I strike out with the Pod maybe they will know.

The last time I spoke to Charlie at the track they were full to the max, so that would lead you up a blind alley,you can try asking her by ringing the track office and ask for her

After a quick chat with the girls on the Pod stand at the autosport show they said I should speak to (IIRC) Charlie for the storage behind the office at the main gate & Darren for the area behind scrutineering.

The caravans which are behind scrutineering are for the use of SPRC Marshalls and Pod staff only, so I'd guess the Poddington Caravans link would be your best bet.
