Morning guys, speaking with a mate last night, we usually go to Silverstone but have decided this year to do FOS instead.

We'd look at travelling down Friday morning, being there Friday and Saturday or travelling Saturday and being there Sat/Sun.

Starline Club looks good, worth it? Or any other suggestions?

As for where to stay, I guess things will be pretty sold out so I'm starting my research but again any advice appreciated. If we've got SC tickets then we'd have on-site parking but how bad is the traffic trying to get in? Silverstone was a killer.

Cheers

Thanks, good to know.

I've found an AirBnB about a mile away for the two of us but £1,000/night to rest our heads for a few hours each night is crazy.

Allows us to be up early though and the Startline Club tickets look a decent base. Anyone who thinks the likes of Center Parcs is mental wants to try taking up a passion for motorsport.

Glad I'm going with someone who has realistic expectations being an F1 fan - if I'd suggested a couple of days away to most other people to Goodwood then came back with the costings they'd just stare at me with a blank expression!

Only got round to actually booking today, Startline Club was sold out for the Saturday so had to go with the Friday. Roaming grandstand also sold out for the Friday so just had to go with general admission tickets. £1,500 each for 2 days including 2 nights Airbnb is steep so I hope it’s worth it! Having to add on a hotel on the Thursday night to make sure we can get there early and with food/drink etc it’s a £2k couple of days!

Startline is only £390 of that.

It’s down to needing to stay somewhere for 2 nights, well 3 including the Thursday to make sure we make the most of the Friday.

Wish we’d been doing it the other way around with SLC on the Saturday but left it too late.
