I know they say they take cards, but take cash. They couldn't get a signal and were struggling to get a signal for pre-paid tickets. Take screenshots or print them off before getting to the stadium. Although improvements have made a massive difference to the racing, there are still some small improvements needed: extra toilets by the seated area on the back straight, along with a food outlet so people aren't walking through crowds with hot drinks or food during racing. Regarding the lighting on the track, I've seen it mentioned that they couldn't put the floodlights on without cutting power to the food outlets and bar. I can understand the meal deal rule, but to be told only one drink per person was a bit too far. We had a few cans of pop but were willing to pay for additional drinks too. It was a hot day, so we would be drinking a lot anyway. This is not to bash the promoters; all the improvements are really good, and I know they haven't finished yet. This will be our local track now that Odsal has shut to stock cars.

Enjoyed going again after being shutdown. There gave been improvements, mainly two new stands, either side of start/finish line, unfortunately no roof yet, but gives an elevated view which improves experience. There are outlets for food and drink, also toilets fire the use of. Approach from main road down to stadium needs to be taken with care, especially if oncoming traffic approaches. Reasonable pricing all round. Race track is a bit iffy, had to be repaired at one point, mainly around 3rd corner, but track staff git it raceable. All in all good experience and nice to have them back racing.

Pay on gate is available. On site refreshments were cash only. This was a fun family day out, site was well managed and loads of space to watch the racing

Went to watch my 1st BRISCA F1 race up here, great track but make sure you wear warm clothes as as soon as the sun drops it goes cold real quick !!

Difficult to get to but had a great day there with my kids and the racing is constant and exciting. The downside is the food. For a small burger and portion of chips it's over £10! Just to keep my boys happy cost me over £20 in snacks. Toilets also terrible... I'd go again though as the racing was great.
