Silverstone '07

[tin-top fan]

This year i'm hoping to go with some friends to the British GP. I've never gone to see F1 before so I was wondering a couple of things:

1. The £99 tickets- how long is it normally before they run out?
2. Camping: Where do people normally camp, also how much does it cost and how long in advance do people normally book it?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

I am in the same boat with you. I would wish to know more too.

If i remember right, the last date to get the reduced ticket prices was 31st January, so your about a week too later to get a ticket at £99. Ticket prices will have gone up now. Check http://www.silverstone-circuit.co.uk

There are various camp sites around the circuit. Silverstone's website can also help you with more information. The closest campsite is Litchlake, and its right opposite the main gates. You cant book, and its usualy full by Friday morning. Personally although I like the funfair, I think its too noisey to camp there. I camp at the SRC campsite near Silverstone village. I've booked already and its a flat rate fee of £60 whether you sleep in a tent or caravan. There are additional feers for gazebo's and extra cars etc.

instead of normal spectator tickets for the gp try some hospitality packages , i use grandpriximages.com ive been to private tests, tyre tests with the full vip treatment and just bought some vip hospitality tickets for the grand prix this year too

I wish I could afford hospitaity. Its out of reach for many people.

have a look at the test day hositality they have , i went a few times last year with them and the day was leagues ahead of any gp ive been to

you wont see much action for £99 becuase there are people that put seats in the best spectator positions from Friday until the Grandprix is over.

Its an unfair practice but some people dont care.

So you may aswell pay the extra for a grandstand seat and get some fool with an airhorn in your ear.

i got great views with a basic £99 ticket, you just have to be prepared to get to most parts very early!

[Stuartf12007]

yea get there early but these people put a chair there and all there stuff, just so they can keep that spot, then they go off somehwhere.

If you want that spot then you have to stay there otherwise people should be able to dump all there stuff and take that spot.
