Is it worth it for a Paddock pass?
I'm just wondering whether it's worth in getting a Paddock pass. As I'm there all week and camping in EPINETTES as well. If someone could post on here the advantages of getting a Paddock pass that would be grateful. As I do really want to get one but don't really want to waste my money.

Well to be honest, no you can get into the paddock earlier in the week and on friday so spend the money on something else instead, like some good stuff to bring to the saturday meet.

Never had one. They cost a pretty penny, don't they?

Is it being sold seperatly from pitlane???? Combination costs over €450. If so does it give acces to the 'secret tunnel' halfway the pitstraight?

yeah, it's not worth it. if you're desperate to get into the paddock then head to the silverstone wec and elms rounds in april, you can get a good idea of what you'd be paying for...

There is a second tunnel running along the length of the pit lane, its accessed through the paddock tunnel. Not sure what its used for.

No it's not worth it. During the week, except a few hours before and during track action, there are multiple ways to get in the pitlane and paddock for free

I will actually pony up for a pitwalk + T34 pass for 2015... hoping it is actually worth it. Might be a one-time thing, but I think I have to do it at least once.

not being allowed in the paddock is frustrating if you're a circuit regular, but then again because there's so much going on outside the paddock then you don't really register it as a place you wish you were. if that makes sense. Last edited by bella; 1 Dec 2014 at 13:51. |

If you're there early enough, you can wander the paddock - if not the pitlane. We had a good mosey around there on the Tuesday this year.....
