    IMO - The best way to appreciate it is to walk around the circuit between races & pick a new spot (straight, corner, jump, etc.) for each race.

    I don't like walking round too much as you can end up in a crap sopt more often than not. I'd land a bit early, find a good spot, stay there for a couple of hours and then go on a bit of a wander.

    Try and pick a safe a spot as possible. Make sure you pay atteneion to the stewards directions too.

    There's a couple of great spots toward the end of the track which is where I would situate myself, nice turns and small jumps. I won't be there this weekend though.

    Cool!
    I thought I'd be stuck at a junction with the route. you can just walk along the course till they're ready to start the race is it?

    Can you just drive to near the course and park there?

    Yes. You can walk the track in between races too. Listen for the steward's directions though. They'll tell you when the next race is starting.

    Yes, though it'll be busy.

    You could try parking in Ardgillan Castle & walking to the course from there.
