On the day
Race-day traffic concentrates on the roads up to the course before the first race and after the last. We time the pickup in Poole or Bournemouth to arrive relaxed and agree a meeting point for the journey back.
Who books it
Racegoers in groups, corporate hospitality guests and couples, from an estate car to a V-Class. Alongside our own cars we work with partner operators and a network of licensed drivers, so several vehicles for one group is straightforward.
