Normally the British final winner is the wild card

Ah of course, forgot the 2022 British final will be before Cardiff.

Hope I feel different closer to the day but at the moment I just don’t have the enthusiasm to go, I haven’t missed one yet but this year the series feels a bit flat and I feel the next day would of been better filled with a test match or something similar

I,m going but I think ideally the GP2 should have been on Friday the GP Saturday but the track will may not have taken it , it’s a bit like having the a semi final after the final.

Anyway I,m sure I’ll enjoy both meetings.

We cannot raise the importance of the British Final back to the days when it was a step on the road to the one off World Final, but at least the prize for winning the National Championship can have some real significance. The chance to step out in front of the biggest of crowds at the British GP and hopefully nick a few points is surely a big incentive. 
I love seeing the British Final winner at Cardiff.

Me too, but I still remember when, for one year only, they decided to nominate Harris for Cardiff rather than the BF winner/the rider who finished highest and wasn't a full time GP rider.  I remember because I think that was decided after the British Final not before.

Has anybody any experience of using the disabled / ambulant seating areas in the stadium? Having spoken to the stadium, they have identified block U12 and block L22 as the closest blocks to where we plan to go (U15).

Block L22 appears to have the ambulant seating at the back of the block, whilst block U12 appears to have the seating towards the front. At the moment, U12 is looking the more favourable, but I have a question regarding access to this area. Does this ambulant seating area have it's own access, possibly at the back of it looking at a plan, or do you have to enter / exit via the usual aisles?

As a blue badge holder with limited mobility, my elderly parent would find it a struggle to have to shuffle past other people to get to the usual aisle, hence the question about access.

Thanks in advance for all your help

Don't know about those particular sections but there are sections for wheelchairs that have w straight access from the walkways to where the wheelchairs can view the event

[Star Lady]

We used the disabled ( not those specific ones) area several years back. From memory one person could sit with the wheelchair user and the rest of the group sat in the row in front.

Also stewards came out before the gates opened and escorted us to our places, might have changed now. Could  be worth ringing the stadium direct and asking.

I need to know about ambulant seating too. I called the stadium and they were no help at all. It's ridiculous that the OAP concession tickets are all in the upper tier, I was advised to take the lift to to the upper tiers.

Thanks.

Just received confirmation that GP tickets are now available to download, that is about as much as i understand about how to get my tickets. This has to be my last time to Cardiff unfortunately, as all this technology does my head in.

I had an email saying they are no longer being sent to the Principality Stadium App, but now being sent to the See Tickets App, which needs to now be installed.

I've installed it, but don't have any tickets there yet as far as I can tell.

Pain in the backside quite frankly!

EDIT - found them now. Just to be awkward, you have to locate them and download them. They don't appear automatically.

I've just had the email and downloaded the See ticket app, how did you find your tickets as all I can get is a message saying "no digital/mobile orders found"
