The pit lane will usually be open from 0930 to 1020, and visitors will be able to get close to the vehicles and drivers, and see the pit lane equipment. There are plenty of opportunities for photographers and autograph collectors.

Entry to the pit lane is from the Circuit Crossing Gates on the outside of the Circuit (near the Paddock entrance tunnel).
