As we mourn the ghost of Le Mans past, it’s time to look to pastures new for our canvas-based motorsports fix, and once more pitch presidents 1
-Tickets and PistonHeads can help.
Whether you fancy a continental jaunt or prefer costa-del England, we can assist as PistonHeads campsites will appear at both the Six Hours of Spa and the Britcar 24 both taking place on the weekend of 21-23 September. The events need no introduction, and the benefits of camping with 1st-Tickets is much the same, so allow us to get straight into the detail.
Six Hours of Spa (21st – 23rd September, 2012)
We have managed to put together an excellent deal for Spa thanks to the hard work of the 1
-Tickets team and the favourable exchange rate. For those of you who have been to Spa before, you’ll know it’s an event that retains a true enthusiast feel.
The PH Spa packages will include the following:
- Camping at the dedicated PH/1st Tickets camping area at the Spa Circuit (space allocated on arrival)
- General Admission to the event (for Friday, Saturday & Sunday)
- PH Event T shirt
- Access to hospitality lounge with cash bar
- Short stay return channel crossing
The campsite is a public area that utilises the facilities provided by the circuit. Camping pitches will be allocated on arrival and there are circuit toilets and showers nearby. The nearest entrance to the circuit is less than five minutes walk and a short distance from the old pit straight.
For those who want to attend the race, but do not want to camp, there is a crossing, entry ticket and parking package available too.

Britcar 24 Hours, Silverstone (21st – 23rd September, 2012)
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.
PH will have a dedicated area within the campsite, to reserve a space in this area make sure you enter ‘PistonHeads’ in the car club field when booking online and we will do the rest.
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.
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. The table below details the package types and prices:
