It's pretty locked down during race week, mate. Think military-grade security. Forget wandering around freely; you'll need accreditation or a proper pass.

Otherwise, your tire smoke dreams will remain just that – dreams. You might catch a glimpse from the outside, but that's about it. Good luck!

Early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the parking spot. Seriously, aim for a weekday morning if you can swing it. Weekends at Rhu Cross are brutal.
