Depends how much you can drink!
But at £250 a head its expensive to see an F3000 race and 1 lap by the F1 boys

I've heard the traffic is a 'mare on the race day, is it bad on the practice days ?

How are you Ben, fancy round soon ?

Traffic is worse than usual but nowhere near as bad on the practice days.

Sounds like I should give it a miss then.

Seems like a 'mates' day would be fine when in no hurry and max value can be extracted from the bar , but not for entertaining clients.

Thanks,

appreciated.

I was offered similar package about 6 weeks ago, for Copse corner by a ticket agency, the salesman seemed very eager to push a sale through.

If its the same company that phoned me stand by for several more phone calls offering you more packeges.

£250 a head for practise day seems a bit expensive in my opinion, practise day general admission is about £30 add food and booze(do you really want to get pi55ed and roam around Silverstone?) probably £100-£120

IMHO - not worth it.

I went last year - general admission and wandered around the track and watched from different areas and found it a lot more interesting (general admission on practise day allows you access to the grandstands)

Traffic not bad on practise days, builds up quite a bit on Qualifying Day and is a nightmare on Race Day

Nah! Now the A43 is sorted you'll be in and out in minutes. . . . hmmmmmm don't think so!

I would be cheaper to take 10 people to Monza! (and quicker!)
