		Rockingham is perhaps most famous as the only oval racing track in the UK having hosted the American Champ Cars and the new ASCAR series on the oval track.
		However for those who prefer to bring their own chairs etc. to a track, there is only a limited amount of grass area on which to stand or sit, and this is only at a low level on the main straight.
		The pits and paddock are smaller than you might expect at first, in order to accomodate the infield road course, the only way to get to the paddock is to go down several flights of stairs from the main building and walk along a tunnel underneath the main straight.
