Does anyone know a good place to park for this event? Don't mind walking a bit!
Multi storey in the Marina, its free Not worth taking parking risks as traffic wardens have a field day and are out in force, as are plod on the A23 getting people for speeding so don't go crazy on the journey there and back.
I will be going for the 1st time. Used a parking website where I park on a private driveway of a house about 20 mins walk away in a little close. Always worried about getting door dents etc so hate parking my car in a car park and can't use the mrs car.
Is the paddock where I head for to buy a ticket and if so is that near the pier ?
Thanks
Simon

Just back from the Speed trials, my first time and after the all the petition nonsense (which I signed) I promised I would go.
Really enjoyable day out. Had a good chat with Steve Mead who standard engined S1000RR with a long Swingarm and air shifter was doing 9.2@154mph. Mega impressive and nice bloke.
F40 sounded amazing shame it couldn't do the numbers.

my 1st practice run
HaHa, Looks like you lost a flat cap and duster under braking, is that what they call throwing in the towel my 1st practice run
A great day out. I was a paddock marshal. Got a bunch of photos too. That F40 - wow, never thought I'd ever see one! And the TVRs, classics, many cars I'd never have seen back in NZ https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2wwYPf
I've been meaning to go to this for 10 years and this was my first time. Awesome, absolutely awesome. One bike cracked 9 seconds and touched almost 170mph.
Got speaking to a bloke who raced a Cosworth Dax Rush. A good grounded Motorsport event and should be on everyone's calendar.
Top day out.
