From the North M1/M25 is the best route really. NE you can try the A1/A14/M11 possibly? Don't go through London though! QE2 bridge all the way :)

Friday afteroons/evenings around the bridge is rubbish so you can expect to queue for a while - sorry.

The M25 can be problematic anytime day or night but the M25 is arguably the best route - at least there are services if you need a break.

Camping is no problem as we are blessed with a large grass area.

Entertainment-wise, unfortunately I dont think there is anything planned but the bar onsite will be open from midday Friday til late. I am sure that a few spent some time in the bar last time round..


There is a local parade of shops within walking distance (five mins) but if you come from J4 on the M25, you will pass West Wickham Sainsbury's and this is a five-minute drive from the track. There is a cafe as well a kebab shop, indian and a pub in the parade whilst Jimmy's personal favourite of McDonalds is again a five-minute drive.

There is a Domino's, Chinese, KFC too, then head to the mini-roundabout and take a right (4 o'clock) there is a mini-express-supermarket at the petrol station - good for stocking up with butties etc.

Is the venue providing a BBQ like last year too?

Yes there is plenty of fast food around - I will be at the track if anyone wants further details.

As far as we know, the club has no plans to put anything on Saturday night as they have a wedding reception on in the function room. If anything changes, we can let you know.

The local delivery places will come out as we checked at our last regional with a Dominos Pizza delivery to Racer Control!

Hopefully we can attract some local interest...
Thanks to the guys who put this together.

Tempting fate I know but the long range forecast on Metcheck is dry until after the National...

Fingers crossed.

Only one rule is that it will be a 2WD body comp on Saturday and 4WD body comp on the Sunday and the shells entered must have been used in qualifying so no shelf queens allowed!


I hope all have those really nice bodyshells all fresh for the concours.
Looking forward to seeing the best looking shell.....Oh and don't worry Matt, the weather is going to be just fine.....

MK Racing is the official shop of the club and will be present first thing on Saturday morning. They will be located on the main straight at the banked corner end.

To make sure that he has what you want trackside, I would suggest that you drop him an e-mail or give him a call if you have any specific requests.

Yes we have requested that the changing rooms are open - just ask if you have a problem.

Yes there are cameras up but I am unsure that they are active yet as there is a small sign at the first set that state "cameras not in use."

I use the bridge everyday but only very rarely am I able to go faster than 20mph anyway!
