I'm sure I've asked about this before, but I can't remember and can't find it.

Anyway, was looking at this again and wondering if anyone has been before.

Its basically a day out at looking at their collection of cars, breakfast, buffet lunch, drinks etc all included. Watch the race live with some inside Williams info etc for £250.

Sounds like the next best thing from actually going to a race

For £250 a head, that's not bad value at all. I don't know what it cost (i was a guest), but many years ago McLaren did a very similar thing during the Canadian GP. I will never forget it, the hospitality was fantastic and it was one of those experiences that always stays in your mind.

- Enjoy an array of our F1 themed activities, from racing one of our Williams VR Simulators to testing your speed on our supersized Scalextric track..

sounds like a good experience at a fairly reasonable price


how much is a ticket for the British GP these days,probably a worse experience and a hell of a lot more expensive even if you only do the race day

£250 sounded pretty reasonable myself.

Silverstone F1 tickets start at £185 for general admission for the Sunday only. The cheapest grandstand ticket is £255. Parking is extra at £60!

Parking is extra at £60!

Lol, i've never been able to work that out. It's not as if 100,000+ are going to be able to walk there. Plus i can't work out the average going rate for a 6ft x 10ft bit of grass/mud for 10hrs. What it does mean of course is an extra £600,000 free profit.

I did this in 2019 for the USA Grand Prix, although given their torrid season the price was I think around £180. I enjoyed it - the food was good (maybe not 5 *, but nice), the environment great, the live hookup to the pits before and after was good and the collection of cars etc is stunning.

Also helps that I grew up in the village where they are based. Just down from turn in to the factory is the Volunteer Pub - not sure if its still open, but my wife tells me its one of the worst she's ever been in and calls it The Cupboard. I used to drag her to it when she visited me in University holidays - I loved it

I have managed to get in to do it free many years ago, as a friend of mine works at Williams. It was a brilliant day, and I really enjoyed it

250? Lord. I'm in. Lifelong Williams fan so would be well up for it. Couldn't see prices when I looked the other day.

No info or prices at all this year. I've got my fingers crossed for Silverstone, but wouldn't be surprised if they're all cancelled this year as well

I'd prob be interested in this...

So wife presents me with two caps to choose from Mercedes or Williams... I replied.. I'll take the Merc one cos I think George will be there next year... but nothing would remove that soft spot I have for Williams. Would love to see a return to form for them!
