I've done a couple of days at Abingdon and I'm sure they let people turn up to watch. I didn't see any restrictions on getting on
the airfield.
I'd recommend it for a first track day.

Just do it.......don't sit and watch. People turn up to Abingdon from anything from clapped out old volvos to Mclaren merc SLR's. The
rules of the track day are always explained in the morning, anyone driving outside of these is removed from the track. It's safe, and as
it's a small twisty track, the speeds are kept down. You have nothing to worry about.
Try it once and you will be addicted.

Didn't know there were members on the forum in Princes Risborough and Chinnor. I am between you both in Bledlow no more than 2 miles away!
I have been trying to get my MK Indy to a hillclimb for 3 years, long and sad story I won't bore you with now.. I will U2U both you guys over
the next couple of days with some contact details, haven't time just now as on holiday from Friday.
