There are loads of places to get a decent seat/grassy bank, Porsche Curve, Mulsanne, Arnage and the main stand opposite the pit, IS THE PLACE TO BE AT THE START
Try Speedchills whose site is at Besajour (sp?), close to Porsche Curve, they will even sort out garage passes on the open pit day, which is a Friday, for free!! It would be great if the club ran an event to it as you can all get a pitch together and Speedchills have beer/food marquee, great showers and toilets and is well "policed", no pass no get inny
Last year we got passes to the Lola Judd team garage
Here's my cousin enjoying some, erm... promotional girls and one of the drivers from Lola Judd, Jamie Lawler Campbell, the first one is a group from BeerMountain
