Parking is free, get in for 7 (as the gates open), you'll want to get a good look around before it starts to get really bus. Lewis is there on Sunday and is always the best F1 driver of the weekend - I personally think in front of the house is the best place to see him. Hope this helps smile.

The parking is free. I'd get there for 7 in the morning, it's not got busy yet. The best places to catch the drivers is either exiting the drivers club ( just over the main walkway / bridge by the house) or at the rally stage start / hill climb finish at the top of the hill. If you get up there before the first batch starts their run, you may get a good spot at the front of the mele when the F1 cars arrive. Be prepared to be jostled, trodden on, shoved, and poked by the people trying to get their shirts / books / pictures / anything signed by him though.

if you know when the f1 cars are going up the hill try to get to the collection point at the top at least an hour before they start, i did this in 2008 and got to meet lewis (really goood bloke). the guy standing next to me had been there for 4 hours waiting to meet him and when he eventually got to he wanted to give lewis advice on hayfever!!!!WTF.
