Not the most exciting topic I know but wasn't sure on where else this would go...

The Park and Ride for the GP this year is a joke, website says check your ticket pack, check ticket pack and it says P&R must be pre-booked, and gives no detail on where to pre-book. Goggle searches have got me nowhere...there is bookf1.com, but they double the price to £22 per car (£11 "service charge").

Can anyone with park and ride for the M1 (Sixfields) let me know where to buy a ticket from, much appreciated!!

Did you book the park and ride at the time of booking your tickets?

I did and got a park and ride sticker that goes in your car window. If you didn’t pre-book you’re going to have to pay the inflated price

Park & Ride - You had the chance to buy a P&R when booking the F1 tickets.

However... from this year they are charging so even if you get a parking notice it's not enforcable.

Imho, splash the cash on the vastly inflated circuit car parks if you can get a ticket (may be too late now).

First year on p+r the driver took us through the village getting us stuck in traffic for the circuit. Everyone ended up getting off the bus and walking....

Last year, driver takes us into the public car lanes, again getting stuck in traffic while we watched the other busses flying down the bus lane. Took me two and a half hours to get from my seat at the track to my car....

The year i had car park ticket i drove straight in and straight out, worth every penny after a long three days. Doing the same this year.

I have some P&R tickets that I didn't mean to buy for the sat/sun.
If when I get home they're the ones you need...fancy buying them?
