F1 parking pass - not collected

[obn_ben]

Hi,

I've been trying all morning to get through to Silverstone to discuss parking without success. Having bought weekend tickets and a parking pass they arrived while I was on holiday and were returned by the courier company before redelivery could be made. I decided rather than risk another failed delivery that I would collect them from the circuit on Friday. Does anyone know or have experience of arriving at the circuit without a pass? I'm hoping I can get in with just the booking email

I assume traffic will be pretty heavy over the weekend. Is there much difference between M1 and M40 routes from London?

You don't need a parking pass to enter the car parks at Silverstone. You just need one to avoid a parking ticket!! I would keep calling, try 30 mins before closing time.

I've tried both M1 and M40 to get to Silverstone and found the M1 a lot better.

SSorry for the thread hijack! Does anyone know if I will be ok bringing a minibus to the circuit car park? I have a car park pass (might even have a spare one of the op needs one)

they tow any car without a pass.....doubt you can buy one on day

a few years ago the silverstone village schools sold parking (just a short walk, with locals selling bacon butties and coffee on way

If you have no luck with silverstone,drive past the golf club turn right into dadford farm campsie and you can park there.

I've had similar problems getting hold of them. I posted a message on their twitter feed and they replied to it pretty quickly. Might help the OP ?

Ok thanks for all the feedback

Does the parking pass arrangement mean you can no longer pop up on a whim to watch the Friday practice sessions?

On a few occasions I've decided at the last minute (normally weather dependent) to visit on the Friday and bought a ticket on the gate.

If you parking pass doesn't turn up try the Windmill campsite, convenient and easy to get out of (disclaimer - I haven't been to Silverstone [for a GP anyway] for ten years)
