thanks guys, reason we need it close is that once there we have no car to get the the circuit. just seeing if its worth flying over driving

shame its not a helicopter, you can land and make everyone think you are rossi (bad point being everyone thinking you are a past champion who spits his dummy at his fellow sausage boy freinds)

Turweston airfield is right by the circuit. Have used it a few times for the F1 GP. Dunno about the bikes but for the F1 event there has always been a Land Rover shuttle service included to and from the circuit. (About 10 mins across tracks and lanes, so avoiding the gridlock on the main roads). Many of the teams and VIPS aircraft use it.

Given the inevitable traffic mayhem, remote parking facilities and extended travelling time on F1 weekend I thought that it was surprisingly good value. Not been since 06 but from memory it cost about £1200 for 6 of us and thats out of Liverpool (chartering thru Ravenair).

thanks for that. looking into it
