How the day runs
The car comes to your home in Cheltenham. You travel in a luxury people-carrier for families and groups. Leaving Cheltenham, the car picks up the A40 and keeps to the main roads. On drop-off, the course's rules apply. A one-way system runs on the Saturday. Cars must use the designated drop-off point in Badminton Village, approaching from the south or west, not the north or through the Park; otherwise they cannot leave until after 14:00. Every car needs a parking pass. All day the car stays on hand; a message brings it round. Home to Cheltenham is about an hour once clear of the venue traffic.
