Yesterday aftternoon was a Hampton Downs doing a track day, have to say what an awesome track, not that Ive riddin on many, but yea was cool fun.
Anyways thinking about going down to watch the racing this weekend, but notice there are no grandstands or anywhere to view the track, can one walk around the infield/inside of the track to check out the racing.
Wondering where they would put a grandstand when they do get round to building one.

they put some up for the classic car thingy but took them down afterwards

My pick would be near turn 7 on the inside as you can see turn 4, 5, 6 and seven

What day was on?

Yeah you can wander around anywhere on the inside of the track. Plenty of places to watch and yeah as mentioned, the grass bank will let you see the most at once...

Hampton Downs is waiting to see where spectators would sit before they decide where to put up grandstands. you can view the track from some grass areas - the main one being around the hairpin area. you can walk around but it may be limited this weekend due to the amount of bikes there will be.

Hey thanks for that, that does make sense about building the grandstand.

On another note, wont be going to the racing now, got talked into doing the Mr Motorcycles trail ride instead.
