I’d be interested to see how you get on at the uk circuits. Quite a few seem to be clamping down on where and when you can stay actually on site. Few guys moaning that donnington make you stay night before outside circuit and the local site it very expensive, and very small pitches with nowhere for the trailers.
Are other circuits more friendly?
And the best bit is having to deal with the infamous overnight security guard when you pull up at Donnington, one of the most disliked people in club motorsport! Are other circuits more friendly?
Update:
Castle Combe - Totally fine staying overnight. Luckily allocated at the "back" of the paddock so plenty of room.
Also one of the upsides of having two cars in one rig (Cars 65 and 66) means that we get two paddock places usually next to each other so plenty of room to pitch up.
The other upside of having a rig like this is you attract other cars like moths to the light when they have work to do in the evening...
Cracking day out all in!
Next up Curborough Sprint... Let's see how parking goes there!

Eek! Is the top paddock big enough?
Don't you need a HGV/PSV license to drive that?
The short answer is no. We had spots B1 and B2 so we sort of "beached it" across the grass behind the spaces and all was well enough...Don't you need a HGV/PSV license to drive that?
As it weighs 10,600 kg empty, regardless of the fact is says 3,501kg on the V5, I would imagine that you might "get away" with driving it on a C1 (7.5t) licence, however, if you were weighed it would get a lot more complicated very quickly.
With that in mind, and as I have a C+E (Anything over 3.5t and Towing more than 750kg), I should be covered regardless of who's looking at it.
No PSV as it only has 4 seats with belts.

I shall endeavour to get more of the interior when we're set up properly at the next race and after it's come back from getting serviced (Expecting impending huge bill...)

, and grey water tanks... I'm so clueless! 
Forget the grey water tanks, what about the black water tank!Take care with that big awning and be prepared to wind it back in for anything remotely 'windy' as they can make a big mess if they get airborne. Would be difficult to tie it down on paddock tarmac

Noted.Take care with that big awning and be prepared to wind it back in for anything remotely 'windy' as they can make a big mess if they get airborne. Would be difficult to tie it down on paddock tarmac
The black water tank seems to be a problem, HOWEVER, I do know the location of a sewer drain manhole on a farm...

Very good point, I see you have noted it OP. Just to second that, my good pal with a 'regular' motorhome is normally totally anal about winding his awning in if there's even a sniff of a breeze, but back in September took his eye off the ball for a few minutes, the wind momentarily picked up and put the whole thing on the roof of his van, trashing it in the process.
He's had to wait absolutely ages for a replacement to come through from Fiamma (only sorted a couple of weeks ago) and regards it as a very expensive ball ache of a mistake that he won't be repeating again.

Blooming love it all.
My dream is to impulse purchase a coach and convert it with the spare time I dont have, but this is just as good and every bit more practical.
If not photos, I would love to see a roughly sketched out floor plan.
I've got a variety of photos from when I viewed it.My dream is to impulse purchase a coach and convert it with the spare time I dont have, but this is just as good and every bit more practical.
If not photos, I would love to see a roughly sketched out floor plan.
Looking forward from the doorway to the Bathroom, with the slide out (the far left sofa and entire kitchen slide approx 2ft). The sofa on the right folds out to a double bed.
Looking back down the vehicle from between the two sofas, with the slide in.
Shower toilet and sink beyond the kitchen.
Fridge/freezer and a look through to the two bunks in with the bathroom.
Double bedroom at the back.
The whole dealio is 37ft long.
