To be honest, the Classic is a huge event and with the new paddock and pit building now being open, it's impossible to say whether we'll be able to park on the infield or not. I suspect we'll be asked to park at the outside of Copse and go to sign-on in the paddock bar (in the old paddock) via the Copse tunnel. We'll then probably be able to drive to posts via the perimeter road, with infield posts potentially being a bit more tricky.
Best to follow the instructions that will come with your tickets, and ask at sign-on once you know your post allocation. Talk to other marshals at breakfast and you'll probably quickly find someone on the same post.
Enjoy yourself, use your common sense and follow the advice of your Incident Officer and Post Chief, you won't go far wrong. You will be paired with someone experienced for the day - don't be afraid to ask lots of questions!
