Why don't they allow spectators?
I'm guessing, but having been to one event there as a "sort of" spectator in the first year it was in use the most obvious reason is that the entrance to the venue is at the top of the hill and the hill is the only route in or out of the venue. Spectators would have to get in before practice and stay the whole day, unless you know the right person and can get tagged on the end of a return batch to get in. I recall there was also the issue of a distinct lack of space, at the time I visited the paddock was big enough for about 30 cars, although I understand changes have been made to address this. Further, access to the hill for viewing beyond the start line was very limited aside from marshall posts, so with the layout that they were operating having the general public in would be a logistical nightmare.
If you go to Wiscombe park for the five clubs meeting at the start of September I'll be doing course control and probably holding the telephone upside-down.

I will never forget the look on your face when you couldn't work out why no one was talking to you on your upside down phone!! It was a good day for laughs !!
