I can confirm that the Chinky is excellent! (Well most food after that much beer is
)
We go there every year on Saturday night and have booked in advance as it does get busy. We are normally there on the Friday ~midday for a beer to - have a beer!
During the race, it is now not as good a viewing point as it was, since they put fencing up on the barrier and it is difficult to see through. The sound is great as the cars slow just after the chinky for the new kinks in the Mulsanne (was) straight.
