Race Day Traffic?
Hi All
Off to Silverstone tomorrow for the F1, never been on race day. What time should I plan to get there? And how much traffic is there? ie should I
allow an extra hour or two to get in?
Pete.

When i went, we camped in the field next to the track. Got to the track at 5.30 expecting we would be one of the first there but ended up queing for
half an hour just to get to the track and all the good viewing spots were already taken.
My advice is get there as early as you possibly can if you want a good spot (probably not too bad if you have grandstand tickets though  )
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I would plan to arrive there today during qualifying, stick a tent up for a few hours or kip in back of car, if you have general admission tickets be
at gates for 3am, stake your claim when the charge of the light brigade starts then sleep till noon in the crowd.

I used to go as a pilgrimage every year without fail. Now, it costs far too much, you can't get a decent spot without waking up well before the
sparrows and the traffic is just stupendous.
I agree with richardh, save yourself the hassle and the money. Plus you can work on the car up until the race starts 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

The tickets were bought for me by my girlfriend (well ex actually) for valentines day. I bought her a bloody expensive necklace so I'm
definatly not going to let her get away with not letting me go....
