Val des Terres - Guernsey hill climb

[barlers]

Anybody spectated there?

I've been to the Jersey round of the National championship for the past couple of years and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a bit like motorsport used to be at Brands back in the day - easy access, close to the action and great value (four quid for a great day's entertainment). The meeting is always a double header with Guernsey - they put the cars on the ferry the following day and race at Val des Terres the day after. I've got time to do both this year but I'm wondering what spectator access is like as from the clips I've found so far it looks a much tighter course and I don't see many spectators.

Any input gratefully received

Yes, I watch a round or two in the summer. It's totally free to watch. Good viewing from halfway up the hill to the top. You can watch at start line and then follow the path through the forest. This comes out onto an open field about halfway up the hill. Best spot is in line with the hill at the finish line. In the last couple of years they've erected a grandstand too.

Thanks - exactly what I was hoping to hear!

I recommend the Channel Islands hill climbs to all true piston heads 😀
