The service can be accessed from the pit garages and spectator grandstands at Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Snetterton and Oulton Park, plus venue restaurants (including Cadwell Park). This scale of coverage is unprecedented amongst UK motorsport venues.

To access the facility, provided free-of-charge users simply select MSV-HOTSPOT-WIFI from their smartphone, tablet or PC and connect.

This free service is also available throughout the week, incorporating trackdays and testing in addition to weekend race events.

Can I bring a gazebo to the circuit at a race event?

Spectators may bring small, open fronted tents and other small outdoor structures (without sides) to general spectator areas, but we reserve the right to take down larger gazebos and other similar temporary structures if we consider them dangerous, or they obscure the views of others. Please be considerate to those around you and speak to a member of staff if you have any concerns.
