Wheelchair access to Rockingham

I'm planning on visiting Rockingham this weekend for Britcar with my wife, who uses a wheelchair. Does anyone know what access is like - proximity of car parks, viewing areas etc? I've emailed the circuit but heard nothing back as yet...

It's pretty good from my recollection, I imagine they have a disabled area close to the main Rockingham building that has all the stands in it. There is a lift in the Rockingham building - I don't know but I imagine that there are wheelchair areas in the grandstand.

There is a tunnel that links the infield with the Rockingham building side of the track and that has a lift at either end of it so you can transfer between the two areas (I think there is also a tunnel that isn't as deep and that is accessible to wheelchairs.

I don't know about disabled loo's - other than there is a disabled loo in the Race Admin building in the paddock so I imagine there are others around the place.

I can confirm that the main Rockingham building has disabled viewing areas on all of the public levels and has 'accessible' toilet facilities. the top level of the stand as wheelchair viewing spaces by several of the entrances.

Thanks for that everyone - we'll certainly go and give Rockingham a go this weekend.
