Steve Gibson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Camp site is inside the circuit and within 100 yards of water and toilet facilities and about 150 yards from signing on, so no need to get up too early.

They also let you stay to Monday unlike Oulton Park they want the place completely cleared by about 9pm on Sunday.I stay over nearly every meeting that I'm down at as I've got nearly 200 miles to get home.It makes a big difference going home after a decent sleep.

I have on occassion arrived earlier than planned and have had no problems in staying on site from Thursday afternoon.
Also next to the toilets is a shower block with 3 electric power showers. Water supply is always a problem at the big meetings (i.e BTCC) with all the teams & hospitality units draining the supply dry, so if you have a caravan/motorhome, stock up with water early. If your tenting it, be prepared for a sticky drive home on Sunday night or stay over, shower and leave on Monday as I do.
Unfortunately there is no clubhouse or place within the circuit to get a meal or hot drinks once the burger van shuts down after the last session of the day.
This possibly changes for the bigger meetings with a range of catering options being offered, Burger van, Hog Roast, Noodle bar and a licensed mobile bar.
However, the local pub "The Chequers" is only about a ten minute walk away and Barry the landlord always make you feel welcome and offers reasonably priced bar meals.
About 2 miles up the road theres a small village with a take-away offering fish & chips, curries, etc.
Hope you enjoy your visit.
