Not much of a petrol head personally but cars are super cool and love driving and watching them. Even the body is a vehicle depends on how you use it, look after it and treat it though.

Great place for Family entertainment and good place to learn a thing or 2 about cars during the racing season. Great to see it also supporting riding for the disabled. Full on family entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

Loved the racing and events but way too many cigarette smokers.
Even with the no smoking signs.
No use having signs if not enforced

Was great racing and family friendly atmosphere, though the main car park pedestrian gate was locked 25 minutes after the last race meaning we had to crawl under and through a locked gate to get to our car (there was still about 20 cars in the car park so not sure as to why the gates was locked so early! Not happy). Bad end to an otherwise good night.
