Toying with the idea of going this year, but have a lot of questions. So I figured I'd ask here as there's bound to be someone that's been before.

So, really I'm not sure where to start. Self-arranged or a package? Camping or hotel? Grandstand tickets or General admission? Coach, Eurostar, plane or self-drive? I don't really know where to begin.

There are two of us, both late 30 something blokes, both like a drink and not bothered about camping. Budget is as little as possible whilst still getting the most out of our time. I don't want to be struggling to see the track and cars over the head of some big Belgian.

Has anyone been before and have any advice on where to start the planning?

Cheers!

Fantastic stuff, thanks all. I think that we might go with the Chunnel self drive, Elephant camping, general admission plan. By not paying for anything but the basics we can get a cheap weekend this year and then add any extras in future years ( assuming that Bernie hasn't swapped the race for one in Burma, North Korea or Zimbabwe by then).
