Midwest I have been to silverstone for 5 years now me and my son love it its a cracking weekend. We arrive at silverstone woodlands campsite on Wednesday for early in the morning cars loaded with ice cold beer and the camping gear, park the car next the tent pitch and crack open our first beers then try and put the tent up. Everyone is the same all there for the racing and the atmosphere. The campsite has some great entertainment on in the evening with live bands and you can take the beers into the arenas. Its not a cheap weekend mind, the race tickets for 3 day track entry were about ÂŁ170 and the campsite pitch cost around ÂŁ70 but there is never any trouble everyone is friendly and sociable and I have never had any problems leaving our tent unattended. I find general admission tickets best as you get to go around any part of the track you like but it involves a lot of walking. You can take beer into the circuit as well plus your own food.
Quite by chance, someone has bought me tickets for this years British GP, Saturday & Sunday. Her indoors won't do camping, but just checking hotel accommodation, there's nothing for 20 miles, so might just have to travel each day.
I've read there is a park & ride service, in site parking seems a bit expensive, and I'm sure it will incur some queuing. Any advice about getting there?
