Road Closures
Road closures will be in operation for the safety of all concerned. Full details are given below. Please remember that if road closures are ignored, this can lead to prosecution and importantly can invalidate your vehicle insurance policy.
A one way system will operate in a clockwise direction around the race route which will provide access to all locations from around 09.00am onwards. Diversions will be signposted. Journeys are likely to take longer so please allow more time for your journey. We will do everything possible to keep traffic flowing. An experienced professional traffic management company are employed to carry out this important role.
The race starts at 10am, and lasts for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Road closures are permitted between 06.00am and 12.30pm, although we will limit the closure times to the minimum times possible in order to minimise disruption.
Please help us to manage traffic effectively and ensure safety by observing the road closures. Our marshals will provide guidance upon where you need to go.
If you follow the one way loop you will be able to reach your destination.
