Pit/Paddock charges
Just noticed this on Rockingham's website in the details for their platinum package for the BTCC meeting:
"Package includes:-
Entrance ticket to the circuit and hospitality suite*
*Pit/paddock passes are an additional charge "
I'm wondering if this is an error as I can't remember the last time they made an additional charge for pit/paddock entry at Rockingham. Is this the norm at other circuits that the BTCC visits?Hear the thunder, feel the power.

Paddock access is usually free, and there is also usually free entry to the pit lane for a short time.

There's a charge at Thruxton. Everywhere else is free. Brands you can't access at all, unless you have the appropriate passes.
You lot still here?!

that seems fair to me - charge for access if you want it. I just get so annoyed with Brands.
I've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.

The Brands paddock is very cramped, even when it's pass holders only in there. I like it though. It's handy when you're looking for somebody or have arranged to meet someone, as there aren't many places to hide! :

I suspect that if FIA continues down this route, then Hyundai won't need to develop a new car, because they won't be in the WRC> It really is a stupid strategy of the FIA to spend more money on...
