  • Parking :

    Loads free just look at Siverstone parking maps most around the main entrance side are usualy open.

    Depends which way you come in and where you want to be, from the Buckingham end the first carpark is near a good corner but a long walk to the main areas and the padocks where the promo stuff is

    Does make it easy to get in/out less cars.

    Now they have put up more stands and new pits not so sure how thigs are laid out.

    they are using the old pits this year for this meeting, same as last year.
    :rotfl: given up on tesco do a lot os boots offers. but weekends are now in orange trackside b. lol
    now a race marshal at silverstone.:beer:

  • last year it was ok - £6 or so for chips n a burger. Not extortionate - but not as cheap as Mac Donalds. We took a few drinks in with us to cut costs. Treated kids to burger n chips - I cut costs by just minesweeping their left overs! We enjoyed it last year and are going again this year (just for a day). Cheapish day out 'cause tickets are FREEEEEEEE!

    Thank you so much. Traveling from down south just for the day. My son went when he was a little younger but taking both son and daughter this time. Will pack some food for them to eat and will see how it goes.

    Do you know how much the activities are for the children and I can not see any mention of this on the website. Thanks.

    Looking forward to Silverstone tomorrow, just off to the supermarket for some picnic grub.
    What time does it open ? I know the first race is around 9am; we are coming from Birmingham so don't want to sit in a massive traffic jam to get in. What time is everyone getting there for?
