British GP General Admission - where's best for a shortass?
Discussion
The OH decided last night that she wants to go to the British GP. After looking on the Silverstone website and, firstly, almost dying of shock - £179 for general admission! - I started to wonder which place would be best. As me and the OH are both 5' 7" we don't want to be stood on a flat area as we'll see nothing if any fully grown blokes are in front of us. I know some of the GA areas are on sloped banking, but the map on the website doesn't say which are and which aren't. I fancy being on the bit in front of the Abbey stand and photos suggest that bit is flat - what time would I have to arrive to be at the front?

Pay the extra and sit in a Grandstand.
Not a chance on my budget.
Anyway, cheers guys. I've done some more digging. There doesn't appear to be a sloped GA area anywhere now, so I'm fancying the area in front of the Abbey grandstand. I guess we'd just have to get there in good time.

Personally if I was spectating that area i'd push as far up towards abbey as possible to get a good view down the start finish and to the loop.
That's exactly what I was thinking.v1nce said:
Are you planning to camp at the circuit or drive in???
Drive in. Either from Yorkshire on the day or from Oxford if some friends who'd let us stay with them are around that weekend.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
