Which circuit has the best toilets?

[Slippy Diff]

Facilities are seriously lacking at a lot of the UK circuits ( or they were when I last visited most of them) so what is your opinion?

[Happy Snapper]

In the UK Rockingham but Silverstone is building some!

[Slippy Diff]

Yep, Rockinghams are good. Went there for the first CART race and was very impressed.

[Slippy Diff]

I can remember being in the bottom paddock at Brands one year when raw sewage was running down the tarmac. They really were not bothered when we complained. It was a very hot day as well !!

[Bryan Degerlund]

Certainly since the Doc took over at Brands Hatch, one of the first priorities was to refurbish the toilets, which are now in a very good condition (end of pitlane). In addition, at most meetings a cleaner is in regular attendance throughout the day. Well done, MSV.

[Piglet]

Rockingham no competition!

[Andrew Kitson]

Yes, JP certainly seems to be smartening up his venues and sorting out the basics. For example, the Snett circuit staff were in an office upstairs by the startline with the media centre below on the ground floor. Now, the office is downstairs with the media area alongside. Upstairs has been refurbished to generate money as a corporate sponsor suite with views of the pits/start etc. Common sense.

being a disabled person myself, the facilities ,both FEMALE & MALE at most race tracks are absolutely woefull ,where is the UN human rights commision on this subject??????.

I'll second that! In fact I bumped into him going into check the facilities as I was coming out of them - this was at the Knickerbrook toilets at Oulton.

I also enjoyed seeing the queue outside the Gents it's usually us Ladies who have to wait.

By a country mile!!!

The grosest facilities on the planet!!

[F3lollipops]

Rockingham has the best ones and as for Croft, well it would be nice if there were some!

Actually that is unfair... there is a portacabin in the paddock but you do have to hold the cubicle door on yourself!

[josvandeperre]

Nothing but Portakabins at Montreal and holes in the ground at Montlhery...

[racerkeke]

Laguna Seca gets my vote, especially turns 1 and 8/8A (Corkscrew). At T1 you get to use the beautifully maintained, relatively new "flushies" behind the media centre, and there are also well-kept flushies at the top of the Corkscrew.

Honorable mention to the Aquarium washrooms at T2 at Long Beach!

PS. There is a rumour that Mosport's washrooms have been greatly improved since the last time I was there. Confirm or deny, guys!

Mondello paddock gets my vote - Annie looks after them a treat

Mick, i see you haven't been to Morgan Park then.

My vote goes to Qld Raceway. I remember when it was opened, we were all very impressed by the facilities.

[rdjones]

Best have to be Silverstone and Rockingham, as for the worst Croft and Le Mans (tip if you do go to Le Mans, use the ones in the musesum)

[Andrew Kitson]

Away from motorsport for a moment - the worst ever had to be at Knebworth in June 1978 when Genesis were headlining.
The gents was a hessian walled area containing the 'troughs' which led to a round sunken tank about 20 feet across, flush (excuse the pun) with the ground without a lid. Someone was smimming in it...
Must have been the drugs.

[Slippy Diff]

I thought there may have been more replies to this. Lets face it the facilities really are bad at a lot of the circuits and when you pay something like 30 quid?? to watch the BTCC you expect a bit more. Maybe spend some cash on the ordinary punters instead of the corporates who stand at the back of the room and don't watch the race anyway.

Damn Le Mans, not really many toilets, and all in the same general area.

This year my girlfriend needed to go, when we were at Tetre Rouge.

Took about an hour to find any, there were supposed to be some near the bridge according to the map, but couldn't find them anywhere. In the end we went over the motorway into one of the campsites...

My own experience, the ones in the village were horrible, in fact most of them were. You really need lots of decent ones at a place/event like that.

Silverstone seemed good when I was there a few weeks ago.

[Al Weyman]

Lydden Hill has to be the worst surely, at least it was the last time I went.

Croft are worse, slightly. Showers at Snetterton are the pits. Altough not a circuit I think the toilets at Santa Pod had to be the about just as bad as you could get, I would prefer to have a **** in a box behind my car than use them, anyone know if they have improved?

[Al Weyman]

See that little device from the states. it is a loo seat that fits on yer tow bar, way to go!!!!

[Micky.H]

Theres some 'lovely' trees at Cadwell!!!!

[mazda59]

If you are desperate enough i reckon you will go anywhere

[Pug620]

I ended up buying a camper cause i dont mind sleeping in a car but the toilets at the race tracks are terrible so i take my own.
