Hi

Done F1 at Silverstone and know this is manic but not sure how busy touring cars get, and don’t want to be there super early.
Latest from Oulton Park.
If you’re coming to Oulton Park for this weekend’s Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship event, here’s everything you need to know to help you make the most of the weekend.

Tickets
If you have chosen to have tickets posted (not print-at-home) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted. All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required.
In the rare instance that your tickets have not arrived in time you will need to purchase them at the gate price and obtain a refund after the event by returning the gate ticket stubs and your original tickets to the main MSV office at Brands Hatch, Fawkham, Longfield, Kent, DA3 8NG.
Print-at-home tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven’t received yours, login to your MSV account to access them. Print all your e-documents and bring them to the venue. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed.
Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.
