Location and logistics
The venue is the Army Tank Training Area / Eelmore Vehicle Driving Circuit on Fleet Road in Aldershot, Hampshire (GU11 2HL). The site entrance can be located using What3Words at ///fuels.model.globe.
There are two on-site car parks accessed from Fleet Road. Car Park 1 is near the main site entrance and Car Park 2 is near Rushmoor Arena. Both car parks have hard standing areas. Car parks are about a 5-10 minute walk from the start village and each has a single entrance and exit, which may create short queues. Marshals will direct parking and attendees are asked to use tarmac areas where indicated. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
