From the organisers:

"Just a brief note to attach the infield stand plan (which includes a key showing where you club is parked) for DHF this weekend. Please enter the circuit via the Main Entrance. Access to the infield for set up is available all day tomorrow, Thursday, via the Williamson Tunnel (which will be signed) and also via the Williamson Tunnel from 7.30am each day of the event.

We ask that on race days, as much as possible, cars are in the infield by 11am and don’t leave before 3pm, but we are flexible for those who can’t keep to those hours."


Our stand number is 13. You can find it on the image to the left of the parade assembly area.

Expected numbers are Friday=1; Saturday=5; and Sunday=3 so if you're coming along and you've not posted up - do let us know!

For general queries re infield passes etc drop me a PM and I'll send over the number for our contact.

We're heading up from Aylesbury on Saturday morning if anyone fancies meeting up to convoy?

You should still be ok if you're enjoying your lie in too much to get there by 11. It said they are flexible on that note the other day

P.s. I've been up since 630!!

we're sat watching the racing on the bank just near the cars. They get quite a bit of attention!

ah didnt spot anyone around but here's a pic



i did see another S (Moonrock) in the infield too

i should also add what a great day. The Formula 2 stuff was incredibly noisy, the pits were largely open allowing a good gander up close (those F2 cars had no silencers at all!), there were some great cars and characters there today and some serious machinery. 2 Ford GT40s although perhaps reps, countless historic Jag E types and similar era cars and some nice yank muscle too including this pussycat

Hi Nottm-S2
Shame we did not cross paths.
Did not need wellies this year just woolies! I had the roof on as it keeps the peace and it is cheaper than a divorce!
