VIP CAMPING

What is VIP Camping and how is it different from general weekend camping?
VIP Camping is a standalone, premium camping area located within the track parameters, offering a more exclusive experience during the event. It should not be confused with the standard weekend camping, which remains available as usual.

One of the biggest perks? You can pitch up, grab the deck chairs, and watch the racing straight from your camper with no need to move all weekend!

VIP Camping is released in limited numbers and is expected to sell out, so we strongly recommend pre-booking in advance here.

If you have already purchased general weekend camping and would like to upgrade, you can do so via the same link by selecting the ‘VIP Camping Upgrade’ option.

Please note that spaces are extremely limited, and availability cannot be guaranteed on the day, so early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.

For any enquiries, please contact hello@vmxdnhawkstone.com.

This rule is in place to protect pedestrians and ensure a safe environment for everyone. The decision has not been taken lightly, and we ask for your full cooperation and understanding.

Please note that the track layout and event logistics allow safe and convenient access to and from the circuit without the need to ride within the paddock.

If you are currently a reserve on the go race system, you may be offered an "on the day" reserve ride.

If a rider drops out of the race on the day of the event, you will retain that gate position.

As an "on the day reserve", you will line up at practice and set a qualifying time the same as everyone else in your class.

You will then go to the pit box for your class's race and will be offered a gate place, should one be available.

What are the odds of that happening, I hear you ask...

Pretty good - in the history of the VMXdN, we have never had a reserve rider not race.
We even had a reserve win their class!
