Friday and Saturday wandering around for me . I'll be the old git mumbling 'I remember when this were all fields ,lad ', as it is a shocking 51 years since my first Silverstone Grand Prix .

I didnt realise that there were still tickets around, instead I am going to go to Caffeine and Machine to watch it. My SO has yet to visit and is looking forward to it. Looked like fun last year and the weather is looking promising.

Going Friday morning, coming back either late Sunday or early Monday, depending on traffic.

Friday for me.

Maggots/Becketts private viewing infield parking.

Just Friday though but 2 hours practice, versus race duration on Sunday seems better VFM to me. hehe

Stowe as usual!

Although the roving grandstands the best, usually pit straight for qually (who remembers the bunny) and just generally roving around having fun with different views for the other racing.

Doing dadford road first time for the camping this year, last year @ woodlands which had none of it's entertainment (covid) made us realise just how little we used it after the first night anyway! Chillax, fire up a BBQ and chat.

Super excited for the weekend. 6 of us heading along. In the past we’ve had grandstand seats but general admission this time around - first time doing it and a little anxious as I like the peace of mind in walking to your seat on the Sunday. Kicking myself for not taking the early bird offers!..

None the less - we’ll be hoping to squeeze in at Vale with our camp chairs on race day!

My Brother and I have got general admission for Sunday smile

I don't think there's much chance of us being there at the crack of dawn but hopefully we'll still find somewhere to sit with a decent view of the track and a screen.

Where is recommended to sit with GA tickets? Last time I went about four years ago we sat at Maggotts and could see most of what was going on.

The GA section in front of The Vale has always looked like a good spot. (As observed from my grandstand seat at Club). wink

Dadford road parking is good, a taxi if you can sort it out might be even better.

Thank you, the last time I went Mrs BigBen worked at the circuit so had a pass, times before I camped. Will check out Dadford road.

What are the queues like on Fri/Sat normally for the car park 1 onsite parking? I know Sunday is likely to be horrendous, but wondering how early to set off...

It's a fine art but I like to arrive later than the early rush. This is no good if you have only general admission of course. However, if you have a seat you don't need to worry so I'm planning to arrive around 10 AM. Then, a 25-minute walk to the circuit from the car park and probably take a seat at Woodcote to watch the Historic F1 cars which are on at 1050-1105.
