2023: BTCC chat & discussion
Discussion
After a great camping trip with my nephews at Goodwood FoS, we're thinking to do a BTCC weekend. looking at Donington, Thruxton or Outlon Park. Any pointers/tips? I'll be taking my T5+awning. Oulton seems favourite - £29 camping pp, no pitch fee listed compared to Donington at 29 each PLUS pitch fee (40/125). No prices for Thruxton yet.
Never been before so advice/pointers/tips appreciated from seasoned BTCC campers.

Do it, there is a lot in the program. Have done the September at Silverstone camping getting there Friday afternoon, only pain is they don't open up all the stands... but the stands are free so... Never been before so advice/pointers/tips appreciated from seasoned BTCC campers.

Donnington I go to maybe 3 or 4 times a year. I have never camped but a friend of mine took his son for the BTCC last year, whilst the camping is good (within the actual circuit itself), its right next to the airport and planes were flying in and out all night, the pair of them barely slept.
Oulton is on my to do list.

1st world problems.... if I can sleep at le mans, I'm tempted by Donnington.. did a Gt round in the nineties, and rode it with Ron Haslam.
Tempted to go back to see

I know this kid, I really hope it goes well for him
I had to look him up as I'd never heard of him. I know this kid, I really hope it goes well for him
Junior record looks patchy, with no signs of being a future world beater, however he has won a couple of races in the supporting MINI championship , so he's worth a go.

we booked Oulton! Doesn't seem to be much info - I can't even see if it is Fri and Sat or just Sat night. Haven't booked any grandstands yet but will.Gassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
