There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Place wouldnt be the same without the old charrabang and first world war toilets.
I grew up not far from there and we used to crawl through the hedge to watch the racing without having to pay.Couldnt afford more than the bus fare from Dover.

Haha, my nephew Peter used to do the same when he lived in Singledge Lane, Whitfield. He'd cycle up and then jump the fence at the back of the ciircuit when he was a young teenager.
