Is anyone going to this ?? I'm considering going, flights are cheap tickets are cheap, might even go for a guided tour one day for 70euro, to get a look in the pits.

I would basically be going to play around with my camera and get some upclose shots you can't get at the races.

Anyone been before? know wheres good to stay for testing??

ill prob go by myself for 3 nights or so.
 
The tour includes:
- Video of the Circuit
- Tour around the facilities: briefing room, podium, media centre, race direction, pit garage and paddock.
- Tour around the service tracks (around the racetrack).
The ticket includes watching the Formula One Test Days from: Main Grandstand, Grandstands F, N, G, H, and I, before and after the tour.
Circuit Access: Gate 3. Departure from the Circuit Shop.

im not sure really how far in it will get you??
 
id be going to get the photos though. more space more places you can get for less money..... I'm going to spa in the summer, and got myself some corporate hospitality lined up for silverstone. so this would be just to get some snaps, good snaps
 
i thought about camping, but the flat we found last year is only 10mins from the circuit. Its in spa itself, just around the corner from the casino.

taxi is pretty simple, and theres a massage chair and 50in telly on the wall haha

Sounds like a nice trip Stinky :). I've got a couple of tickets for Silverstone in Club Corner stand but don't think I'll be able to go to any races overseas this year.

Very nice, trumped me :p. My tickets are through my work as well, so can't complain. A couple of people from my department got to take last minute parts to the Japanese and Malaysian grand prixs last year. I was trumped then too :p.

wow, you work in f1 then do you?
 
Well if you need anyone else ;) I'll currently a studio manager so I'm good with bossing around a load of trucks and a team. Would love to work in f1. Moving to weybridge to... I hear there's a few teams around those parts :)

Haha only 26, not quite in the position of power to hire and fire :p. Aye, most of the teams are gathered around a similar area. Haas are opening their factory in the UK now too instead of the USA, imagine that will create a couple hundred new jobs :).

I'm in the engineering side, not so much the logistics side.
