I must make the effort to get along to one of these dates this year. I can hear the F1 cars going round from where I work, which is really infuriating!

You really must. It's fantastic

Hmm...i only saw the February dates on Silverstone's site, which i probably won't be able to get to as i start a new job in a couple of weeks...

However if these January dates are correct, i'm off next week

What needs to be done to get over there for this?

Just turn up, its free entry, but there is limmited viewing spots normally just from the luffied complex

[FFRacer]

Anyone can turn up and view. Paddock restrictions will be in place, but most of the time you can walk around there too. Good chance for pics and views without the crowds. Would try and get on the inside of copse for close/fast viewing or round but brooklands where the assembly area is. Not too sure of the back end though. Also dress like it will be -20!!!

[Mobster raks]

wondering about attending on the 21st Feb, depends what i can make of the day though... what typically is the course agenda on a testing day?

[V6GTO]

Having spent yesterday and today at the Jerez test I'd encourage anyone who's thinking of going to do it

Martin.

PS - photos in the photography section.

I just telephone Silverstone and there is restricted access, but it is free. If anyone is going, do you want to meet some where. Let me know.

Is this for the January dates?

[waynepixel]

Sorry no. It only for Feb. I looked on there website but found no date for Jan. Not too sure what is going on with Jan.?

[V6GTO]

It's unlikely there is a Silverstone test just a week are the Jerez test.

Martin.

The dates I first posted come from f1racing.net, they are very good and finding out when teams are testing. .E.g. they posted in advance, Silverstone Dec 15th 2005, which was a Red Bull test with 1 car. The dates that Silverstone haven't listed will, I guess, be closed to the public.

Hi guy's,

As the April test is the last S'stone test before the British GP - do you think it will be well attended by the teams?

What time do the gates open for testing.

Cheers

I went to last years April test, all the teams were represented and there was a lot of running.
Well worth the trip.

Anyone planning on going over on Monday or Tuesday ? I'm going to take a drive over there on Monday with a mate to see what's going on. Be an excuse for a day out if nothing else
