    Does anyone know where the pedestrian access to the park will be? and where will be closed off?

    All gates are left open for pedestrians IIRC. The only pedestrian restrictions are within the circuit area itself (not that that stops people going through!).

    Pedestrian access - any gate you like!!

    A shuttle bus runs from the Visitors Center to Farmleigh

    What's On
    The paddock is in Farmleigh. A Courtesy bus will be available to take spectators to and from the gates of Farmleigh to the Paddock area.

    There is a map of the circuit in the downlaod area of the ppmr site

    Timetable, paddock plan and circuit map attached. Don't see why anyone else should have to click half a dozen times to get each damned file!

    Are the spectator areas listed below PR Reilly corner and also the one near the OS (1/2 way up the towards LF Hotel corner) new? In previous years, there was no room for them there. Maybe its just the crap drawing.

    I was running up there today, saw them setting up for it.... the circuit is quite small.... back in the old days they had a bigger circuit which went over by the hole in the wall pub....

    The spectator area at turn 1 would be amongst trees and also close to possibly the most dangerous corner. Usually the barrier would be on the far side of the trees which is a reasonable distance (unsuitable for viewing anything really).

    The spectator area at the OS is usually is usually so small that its just part of the pathway.

    edit: just looking at google maps and I see a clearing around there - my bad! In my defence, I'm usually inside the circuit area so I have a limited view of the crowd!

    Thanks, but that circuit map is crap. All the names are made up / named after sponsors, so where the f*** is it in the park?!? Sorry, never been to the races before, and they seem to assume everyone knows where in the park they are. :mad:
