    Anyone going?

    First time for me, any tips (viewing hillclimb, best spots, etc).

    I went last year and was supposed to go this year but im not now as im due away....

    My brother is going instead

    Simply put its alot larger than you would think so take comfy shoes to walk around in. The Rally section at the very top of the hill was awesome and you can take a walk around the pits and cars in the field above the start line. I think you will find a good spot as you walk up towards it but keep going as we found the start line was quite impressive!

      I went a few years ago, towards top of hill was good viewing spot and you could see rallying easily as it was a short walk

        Really agree with the comfortable shoes. . It is wayyy bigger than you expect.

        Interesting to hang about the area where the cars queue up to hit the hill. Paddock area...

        You'll have an awesome time...

          I am going on Saturday. Try standing about halfway of the hill where the "S" bend is. You get a great view of the cars approaching, plus the show offs stop there to burn out! Catch the "gas" arena for top notch bmx and motocross. I really enjoyed the concours arena in front if the house and the open paddock .pits are a must see.... Enjoy!

                        We had a result when we last went and manage to wander in as they were getting ready to finish off for the evening and had the stands pretty much to ourselves and the one or two people left to look after the stands were very hospitable in letting us take a closer look over some of the cars too. Just got to time it right
