Hope this isn’t old news, but tickets seem to be available: http://www.silverstone.co.uk/events/2012-Formula-1-Santander-British-Grand-Prix/?tab=Book-now
There’s an early bird offer on at the moment.
Go on, you know you want to go. I’ll be there for the weekend

All I'm thinking about is going to Spa at the moment, Silverstone can wait!

Slightly off topic, any idea when USA ones are released and any indication of price.

Gustov · 23 Jul 2011 at 12:27

Going to buy some now, any suggestion as to what tickets I should get? Any to avoid?

Gustov · 23 Jul 2011 at 12:47

Anyone!? Where's a good place to sit? Happy to pay for silver...

Sorry to push but I don't know long these will be available for. Thanks to the OP for posting.

I'd like to know this too! Really really want to go to Silverstone at some point, have been wanting to go pretty much all my life but for some reason or other I never get round to it. Think I'll just pull my finger out and do it next year!

Woodcote A grandstand. Seats in the 60-80 number range, any row. View all the way down the Wellington straight for some DRS action, plus all of Luffield and Woodcote and down the old start straight.

Also gives you roaving grandstand for Friday and Saturday so you can walk the whole track and sit anywhere.

Second best, Becketts grandstand. Epic fast corners and with some bi-nocu-lars you can see over to the Arena complex too.

Thanks.. Just need to see if I can persuade anyone else to spend the cash and come down next year!

Cheers mate but don't really want to pay more than the Gold uncovered prices (£228)

http://www.silverstone.co.uk/events...ish-Grand-Prix/?Tab=book-now&ticketType=14814

Going by that, what would you opt for?

Street · 23 Jul 2011 at 13:53

Is it best to camp there?

I wouldn't. A roof is key. Lowest I would go to is Luffield A. Shame the early bird tickets have sold out.

Depends on how far away you live. Driving isn't to bad. Also a Travelodge isnt a bad idea. Did that a few years ago. Stayed in one near Milton Keynes which was reasonably priced and only 30 minutes to drive to the track.

Don't see how a roof is key without knowing what the weather is going to be!

What! you have to pay additional cash just to camp? Wtf is up with that?

I'm in Liverpool so its a fair trek, thinking it might be good to camp there for the atmosphere etc.

Woodcote B £192. Gold covered, race day only. How does that sound? Woodcoat A really worth the extra £60? None of my friends are willing to camp

Sigh, change that to, not a single one of my friends is willing to pay £192

Thats the problem I have with it, trying to get people to pay that sort of money to go with me!

Yep. I've had 5 friends who have all said YES SO WANNA GO! Then I told them the price

Why not start a ocuk meet thread.
Plenty of people went this year.
