If this is the case for your vehicle, please make the Paddock Marshals aware upon arrival. You must not move your vehicle when the event is open unless prior approval has granted by the Paddock Marshals, who will inform you of a safe exit route.

Do not approach the event site from Overton Village – this will cause delays and congestion.

Upon arrival, you will be checked in by the Traffic Marshal Team who will direct you to the Paddock, where you will be met by the Paddock Marshals.

Vehicle Access
If you are taking public transport, we recommend heading into Overton or Basingstoke and getting a taxi to the event site from there. Overton Train Station is approx. a 10-minute drive to the event site, and Basingstoke is approx. a 20-minute drive.
There is a designated taxi drop off and pick up, which can also be used if being dropped off by a friend or family member. Direct the driver to Gate A1 during build and break days or to gate A2 during the event live days (Friday to Saturday). From here follow the signs to production.
We will brief all local taxi firms in advance of the show where this is and that under no circumstances will pick-ups or drop-offs occur anywhere else.
