Hi Guys,

I am off to the Revival this Sunday and am wondering where you think the best spot to catch the action is. I am happy to wander around, but am keen to know if there are any spots I should make a b-line for.

Cheers,

Alex

I always try and get Woodcote grandstand seats as you can view two corners from here and they may have a coming together as they enter the chicane, always keeps me on the edge of my seat.
I have one spare Woodcote ticket if its any good to you. £50.

I always walk around the whole circuit - best viewing areas IMO (and in no particular order) are;

Woodcote/Chicane - busy, full of atmosphere and normally plenty of entertainment but you will fight to see anything after about 10am unless you have a grandstand ticket.

Madgewick - particularly at the entry and the exit. Lovely, complicated double apex that is very fast and tricky to get right. Plenty of drifting action. Again, get`s a bit busy but is feasible after 10am!

Back of the circuit from no-name to Fordwater/St Mary`s. Very fast and normally relatively free of spectators. You can really judge commitment and talent (not necessarily at the same time!)and the quicker cars are genuinely awesome through there.

Rest of the circuit is perfectly OK but it always amazes me how many people watch the whole day from one spot which I find plain dull.

3rd loudspeaker after the exit of Madgwick.
You'll spot the men (only a few) from the boys right there.

Today, we were at the end of Lavent straight during the afternoon. Unfortunately there was a crash here today, but fortunately the driver was ok.



You can see the skid marks in the following picture..
