Club Silverstone F1
Discussion
The actual view of the circuit there is second to none imho. You get a great view firstly of maggots and becketts, great to see the cars through there. Also you now will get to see the new arena section.
With regards to the actual hospitality i couldn't fully comment. It looked nice from the outside but i had basic becketts grandstand tickets

I asked a similar thing a few months back

Generally it didn't get good reviews so I didn't go for it and just got platinum tickets instead...

I did it last year and thought it was worth every penny - have bought 10 tickets this year to take friends/family/customers. (15% discount for buying early)
Firstly, I think they're the tickets for the enthusiasts. for the Fri & Sat you can use any grandtsand and sit where you like. I loved this as I got to see the practice & qualifying from Copse, Stowe, Pit Straight & anywherethehellIliked
It's not stuffy like corporate, the customers I will take will be the racing enthusiasts and they will enjoy it more than a stuffy box with canapes.
As a previous poster said, the view for the race is excellent, right above Maggotts you can see from Copse to Stowe and then a large part of the new Arena section as the cars come towards you.
Getting in and out is easy with a dedicated gate for you.
Catering is OK, but it's certainly quieter than the main areas with the queues a lot shorter. Toilets are the same.
We spent a lot of time walking around the circuit for 3 days, but felt good to know that there was a 'base' to go back to and we could get a seat with a glass of something nice when we needed it.
FG

Tickets have been ordered. Looking forward to trying it.Firstly, I think they're the tickets for the enthusiasts. for the Fri & Sat you can use any grandtsand and sit where you like. I loved this as I got to see the practice & qualifying from Copse, Stowe, Pit Straight & anywherethehellIliked

I thought it was superb. Parking right next to the stand and in and out of the circuit in 5 minutes and straight on to the A5. The view was superb and we could see loads of the circuit. Was also nice to just chill out in the Club patio and watch the other races on the big screen while enjoying a drink. I know a few have said it isn't worth the price but we are doing it again next year. Its our once a year treat and we loved it, get a program, cap and earplugs too.

Oh man - you were supposed to say it was rubbish! I've just ordered Club platinum tickets for next year!
It's crap, considering the extra you have to pay.I did it in 2006 and 2007, they used to have the whole zone including the access to the grandstand ( which is actually just a section of Becketts ) zoned off, you have to leave "the cube" to get to the stand and fight through the crowds now. The "hospitality east" car park is one of the few grassy field car parks and is a nightmare if it rains properly. The view of the action is only just okay. Save yourself some cash and buy Becketts grandstand tickets, if you want to be out there in the wilderness. There are far better options, I wouldn't choose club silverstone again unless they had run out of all other options first.Daz68 said:
You will enjoy it, as i said you get a great view and its a doddle getting in and out.
Each to their own I suppose. I wish I still had the pictures I took from the club silverstone stand, I'd put them up here with the shots I've taken from elsewhere, you'd see what I mean about the "great view". It's great if you have a powerful pair of binoculars 
. If you're trying to go south after the race, the access absolutely couldn't be in a worse position. I've been in just about all locations at the track on a GP weekend, including paddock club and general access, the one I personally wouldn't ever choose again would be club Silverstone. It depends what you want out of your weekend, and what's important to you. If it's the Grand Prix, club Silverstone isn't the best option. If eating prawn sandwiches with your back to the track is more your thing, then there is no cheaper way to do it than club Silverstone. I know plenty of people in each category, as I said it's each to their own
