I thought I remembered reading somewhere that scrutineering would be at a certain park or something on the Friday. Is this right? And if so, what are the details?

Gives drivers plenty of time to unload once, settle in etc. Be good to get there early and enjoy - leave the kids on the bouncy castle and to get their faces painted. But a Bucket hat to get the sun off. Going to be a good two days I’m getting pumped  |

Probably the perfect time to allow the track to be prepared after without giving everyone a killer schedule? And enough time to drive direct from ferry to hotel, check in and straight to track, and home and clean car adjust set up, early night.
Spectator wise most will be in holiday so no problem there.
Track is 15 mins from airport with new motorway so head straight there, the club rooms might be open

Entry form states different times. How are the competitors kept up to date with possible changes? |

Entry form states different times. How are the competitors kept up to date with possible changes? I’d believe the entry from dates timing etc Gravel spreader has been around a long time but isn’t known for dealing in black and white facts, of extensive research In summary believe the entry from, Woodford Glen are pretty notorious for their process and following SNZ rules, so everything will be as advertised in that entry form |
