Camp with PistonHeads at Britcar 24
PistonHeads Britcar camping the perfect way to cheer the official PH entry as we race the Toyota GB GT86
Better still PistonHeads is going to be in the race, editor Dan joining the Toyota team to drive the Toyota GB GT86. So come along and show your support!
The camping area at the circuit is close to the National paddock and pit straight (old pit straight). The campsite is located just behind the old grandstands and paddock bridge. On site there will be toilets and showers for campers and while there are no catering or bar facilities on the site, we are working with the event organisers to ensure that there are facilities close to the site entrance. We will keep you posted as things develop regarding this, but you can always BBQ your own food and get into the camping spirit.
From the site it is a short walk to the viewing area opposite the National Paddock and pits. Access to the paddock area and infield viewing areas is via a tunnel near Copse corner. This brings you our near the top end of the paddock and the viewing bank by copse corner.
This year we can offer Snoozeboxes to those who don't fancy the under-canvas option. What are Snoozeboxes? Well, they offer a totally unique accommodation option and will be located right inside the circuit. Each Snoozebox room has an en-suite wet room with shower, basin and toilet, serviced daily with towels and toiletries. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, free WiFi and a personal safe guarantees you a relaxed and enjoyable stay, whatever the weather ... which will be sunny of course.
What’s included in the Snoozebox package?
- Two nights accommodation (Fri & Sat)
- Continental Breakfast
- General Admission

For the more traditional campers amongst us, we can still offer a patch of grass for tents and that's also where you'll find the PH team too.
There are two sizes of camping pitches available (both can be purchased as a package with entry tickets and a programme) or if you have already purchased your tickets you can buy the camping pitch on its own.

I went to the Spa 24 hour race which was good but lacked some of the atmosphere at Le Mans. Still it made up for it by being at Spa (surely the best track for spectators) and obviously the frites.
Silverstone 24hr just paints a mental picture of sitting in a freezing cold grandstand being fiscally raped every time you want some food or drink before trekking back to your deserted campsite in the pi$$ing rain and trying to pitch your tent in 3 feet of mud.
Hopefully I'm wrong as it would be nice to have a decent 24 hour race on home soil. Anyone got any experience of previous years?
