Thruxton

Hello all

Making my first ever trip down to Thurxton on Saturday. As i've never been can anyone reccommend any good places to view from?

Also whats the place like? Good place to grab some lunch at the circuit etc? Easy paddock access?

Thanks

Simon

The main grandstand is good but I think you may have to pay extra. You can also take a clockwise walk around the outside from the entrance as there's some very high banking with excellent views.

Is the main grandstand by the chicane at the end of the lap? This looks like my prefered option at the moment.

Thanks for the reply Tim.

Yes, that's the place. It's probably the best viewing point on the circuit but I'm sure someone said they had to pay a fiver to get in there last time I was there.
I will be in the Thoroughbreds race car 61, yellow D type replica.
