PistonHeads will host a private campsite at the
taking place at Silverstone (21st – 23rd September, 2012) and while we relax, PH editor Dan will be racing through the night in a Toyota UK supported GT86.
Quite frankly we can think of nothing better than camping with other PHers enjoying a cold beer and cheering on the PH car in the race. Of course, other cars will be racing but Dan will be the fastest (fingers crossed) and he needs our support.
The camping area at the circuit is close to the National Paddock and pit straight (old pit straight). The campsite is located just behind the old grandstands and paddock bridge. On site there will be toilets and showers for campers and while there are no catering or bar facilities on the site, we are working with the event organisers to ensure that there are facilities close to the site entrance. We will keep you posted as things develop regarding this, but you can always BBQ your own food and get into the camping spirit.
PH will have a dedicated area within the campsite, to reserve a space in this area make sure you enter ‘PistonHeads’ in the car club field when booking online and we will do the rest.
From the site it is a short walk to the viewing area opposite the National Paddock and pits. Access to the paddock area and infield viewing areas is via a tunnel near Copse corner. This brings you our near the top end of the paddock and the viewing bank by copse corner.
There are two sizes of camping pitches available (both can be purchased as a package with entry tickets and a programme) or if you have already purchased your tickets you can buy the camping pitch on its own.
