don't think so, I'm sure there were seperate Friday tickets when I was online booking my weekend tickets.

Cheeky tts are charging £5 for cycling around the circuit on Friday, Saturday & Sunday evenings!

Although it's free for ticket holders.

I believe the £5 is going to charity, not to the circuit.

was free last year.
won't bother with the test day if i have to pay

Friday is one of the best days as you get to see the annual Supercar Tour! Usually some lovely motors there, last year there was Evo's Zonda, Mosler etc.
I'm going on Sunday though as I want to see some racing!

Is it practice on the Friday then? No tickets are mentioned on the above link.

Friday has been free the last 4 years, don't expect it to be different this year. They have stewards on the gate but they actually give you a ticket when you go in.
Friday is a good day for a mooch around the paddock as it's dead quiet.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. How many cars are on the grid for GT1? Are there many Supercars knocking round the paddock?

[Amateurish]

I'm looking for some discounted weekend tickets if anyone has bought them but unable to go. Cheers.

It's so tempting to take tomorrow off and go up for this!

[adam24]

If you can take it off I would! It's dead quiet around the paddock so you can often get into the garages and pit lane/pit wall.

RE Supercar Tour, it's usually a great place to see a mix of Supercars, plus there's talk on another thread of the orange Zonda Cinque being there....

I'm a contractor, so the day would cost me MUCH more than just the fuel up there! It's rather quiet on site at the moment though so also hard to sit here doing very little!

You and me both, always fancied GT stuff and I have a new lens to play with.

Can anyone confirm if it is free ?

[XG332]

If it is free, I will be number 1 in line!

[belleair302]

I believe its a tenner. free parking, free seating and an open paddock. Not bad for £10.
