    The Facebook link to Lappi's crash seems to have been taken down. The problem for most events is they simply don't have enough marshals to cover the whole stage, but what happened to the talk of...

    That's the car park I mentioned in my post last night. It wasn't an official car park but (from the security guy I talked to) they seemed ok with people going there as a lesser evil than parking...

    I'm completely stunned by this news. I can't think of a driver I've warmed to as much as Craig, the heart on the sleeve approach, the sheer joy and tears at stage ends and the fact he was just a...

    Yes, I know that but there are no towns or even large villages on the rest of the route. The point I was trying (badly) to make is that the whole route is relatively remote and thus spectator...

    I believe Knockhill were allowed 1000 spectators for the BSB, which is only 25% of what circuits in England have been allowed to have. The argument is that ticketed events can prove how they manage...

    Non-elite events at Oulton Park are allowing spectators from 17th April, so in theory this should be no different - but does the addition of the BRC push it into the elite category?

    Anyone know how much it is to get into shakedown? I'm hoping it's £20-25, not the £35 they're charging for 'pay on the day' on the other days.
