The Venues - Descriptions and How to Get There.....
Spectators are welcome at all venues except for Predannack which is an active MOD Airfield and strictly a "no go" area as far as spectators are concerned. Clubs will usually make modest admission charge for spectators often "per car" (max. 4 people)
Marshalling is a good way to become involved in motor sport and at the same time have a free ringside view of the action. All clubs provide a lunch break during the day and some clubs even provide the food! Whilst the duties are voluntary, there is often a "Marshal's Prize Draw" or similar at the end of the meeting.
If you are interested in being a marshal at any of the Championship events, please contact the relevant official at any of the organising clubs. (Click here for contact details) If you are a novice the club will team you up with an experienced marshal who will "show you the ropes".
Note for Competitors - the information on this page is principally for the benefit of Spectators. In particular, more detailed information about the venues (bends etc.) will be provided in the Supplementary or Final Regulations for individual events by the relevant motor club. Some venues (e.g. Castle Hill and Werrington Park) may also specify a different Competitor Entrance.
