Where do people stay? Can you leave the car safely at the circuit? How much is the PM of the test day on Friday or is it included in the racing fee for Saturday? So many questions! John

Theres a few hotels knocking about that you can stop in, or farm house B&B's, or you can camp. Im very close to Oulton so if you want to bounce potential hotels off me PM me and I'll let you know what they're like.
Yes its safe to leave your car overnight.
Testing isn't included, you need to contact Oulton Park either by phone or their email to book.

I don't know whether Chez-Range Rover will be that comfortable in the paddock! I do however welcome the ability to vet the local establishments as I don't want to become the sixth or seventh member of the Village People tribute band dressed in my racing overalls by booking into the wrong establishment!

I suppose falling asleep in the captain's chair in it's conker surround is only like falling akip min a gentleman's club, it's the driving the following day with my head at a 30 degree angle because my neck has seized that is concerning me!
