Parking is free I think, I'm pretty sure you can even park your car close enough to the track to sit in it and watch. Their always seems to be cars dotted around the circuit.
Tickets to spectate were £12 last year I guess it will be similar this year.
For your money you will get Practice and qualifying and one 25 min race for each class (7 classes I think) on the Saturday and warm up and two 20min races for each class on the sunday. Plus 2 non-championship races per day.
Practice usually starts about 9am. Racing about 11am.
There is also the cafe you can sit in and watch everyone coming over the Mountain.
Come and say hello if you do get up there, I'm the fat bastard trying to look slim in black!!!!
