Jams: Be early - plan to arrive by 8.00am latest. Avoid M27/A27 if possible. I use the A286 from Midhurst and don't normally have a problem (at 7.30am!)
Car Parks: As said they are free, just follow the signs. Car park entrances change as they manage the traffic flow. If you have a pre-1972 car (or one that looks like it is
) apply for the free pass to the pre-72 car park and just follow the signs to it. This is closest to the entrance.
Clothes: No need to be in period but better to get in the spirit. Just avoid anything obviously modern.
Pits: There is no public access to the pit lane, but nothing happens there anyway. The paddock with the most valuable cars is restricted to GRRC members but the rest are freely open and is where the work goes on.
Food: The NAAFI van offers the best value if you can find it (usually on the corner diagonally opposite "Earl's Court"). Nothing is particularly cheap, it has to be said.
Tickets: If you haven't got them yet
DO IT NOW, Friday will sell out any minute. I have never bothered with grandstand, there is too much to see to stay in one place.
If you want any more information, the current issues of both
Classic & Sports Car and
Octane have preview supplements.
Good luck and remember to book early next year.
