    If you have reserved a garage you can usually park your van behind it.7.30am it gets busy so get there early.Caravans/motorhomes can be parked behind your van if small enough or over near the back fence(30yds away)but you need to be there a day/days early to get a caravan space.Might be worth checking with Brands Hatch cos these fence spaces may be paid for.Petrol station/ small shops are 2 mile away.Great track but shame about the nearby facilities cos there isn't any unless you travel miles for a supermarket.

    Depends how they set it up on race meets YT.

    As sideways said, if you've reserved a garage no doubt you can park your van behind, space for three vans behind each garage I think.

    Toilets and (I think) showers at either end of the pit garages.

    With regards to your pal, not entirely sure where tents go? Most of the other vans and caravans will be parked in paddock hill paddock other side of track - 3 min walk away. Think they put tents about 5 min walk away up top??

    Not sure where you get 2 miles though sideways, garage is few hundred yards out of track or one little further in farningham, no further than a mile away.

    Not many supermarkets close buy - swanley is prob closest 5-10 min drive away, but few pubs in farningham and eynesford! Which are nice ;)

    Few local lads in here so if you need anything just shout :)

    I don't think they will let you by pit garages. My bet is the will let you set up in garage and park van and gazebo over in paddock. No dramas though, really isn't far

    As for mileage of nearby petrol stations I'm not good with distances in cars so follow Jimbos calculations.Just don't walk it cos its a long way to walk from out of the paddock.A mate walked it and vowed never again.Enjoy it YT its an epic track.
