World Endurance Championship - Silverstone

[twocolours]

I'm going to be in Oxford next Saturday night so thought it might be worth stopping off for the race on Sunday. I've not been to an endurance race before (except British GT) so not sure what to expect - has anyone been before that could let me know if it's a good day out and worth the (what I thought to be quite steep) £40 price on the day?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all your input folks, sounds like its worth the visit - having always been a GT/Le Mans fan I'm looking forward to seeing the LMP cars, plus my trip to Oulton today for the British GT has whet my appetite! I'll make sure I'm prepared for the worst weather wise and make sure to make the most of it!

Thanks Everyone!

- If it's sunny, don't forget the sunblock - there is precious little shade. I learnt this lesson the hard way.

Me too! British GP 2005 was particularly painful!

Thanks to everyone one who recommended I should go - I did and had a great day! I was a bit disappointed I couldn't get down the pits as I hadn't pre-booked but I knew this would be the case so wasn't a surprise. I spent most of the day walking around the circuit and watching from various places, saw the start from the start/finish straight and got back to watch the last half hour and the podium celebrations. My favourite place to watch was Maggotts - the speed the LMP1 cars held through here was incredible! Also the Corvette... what a noise! All in all it was a great day, I'm already thinking about doing the whole weekend next year.
