Do you still have to pay a massive parking fee f you take a car.
Not that I would go obviously, 70 quid is pathetic for 3 races.
But simply to make people aware, if you are driving you might have to pay a big parking fee
It’s £12 for parking and £70 is cheap for a world class motorsport event, other main sporting events are way more forwhat you get, sNot that I would go obviously, 70 quid is pathetic for 3 races.

t I can’t even park in my nearest city for £12 a day.70 quid is not cheap for 3 races and very little in the way of facilities. You can watch motorsport in the uk for less than that for 3 days. The only thing dearer is F1, and that is wayyyyy overpriced, yet thousands of morons hand it over every year, so what would you do if you needed to pay the price for hosting large events all year, increase the price of every event there of course.
I asked a friend of mine who is not at all interested in racing if she wanted to go to the classic, I already knew the answer when I told her the tickets prices, and she is very well off!
Motorsport is priced way too high to allow people on low incomes to come and watch. Mainly because the people charging are trying to pay for hosting fees and make a profit, hence parking fees at a track you never pay parking fees all year. Its a farce!
And, why, please why are they charging for parking? The place is surrounded by parkland that is used for parking, why are they charging?
Sorry but if you think 70 quid is cheap for anything, no way.
Stones tickets are 90 quid. For that you get a seat. Get over yourself. Or get real maybe.
British hillclimb championship today a tenner. Thats real

Yes MotoGP and F1 costs a lot more to watch than hillclimb meets, but the levels of spending from everyone from the teams to the organisers is much higher, making the cost of tickets more so.
Just because you can't/won't pay the money necessary for something doesn't make everyone who can/will a moron.
Would you say people who drive around in cars much more expensive than yours or live in much more expensive houses than yours are stupid because of what you deem acceptable?

I probably would yes, what on earth is the point in spending hundreds or even tens of thousands on a car when most of the time you sit in traffic, can't really enjoy it and it costs you a fortune to fuel, tax, insure and own.
I can't see the point really
but whatever, if you all want to pay Silverstone's bills for them, off you go

You’d have got it cheaper had you have been more organised. Not that I would go obviously, 70 quid is pathetic for 3 races.

As for it being 3 races, everyone who’s been to a world championship event knows it’s much, much more than that
