I'm going up Saturday and Sunday on a corporate ticket. Free beer, champagne and food.....nom nom!

Didn't manage to make it to a race last season so it will be good to go to Silverstone again!

There are a group of 10 of us going and we are staying Banbury and getting taxi's over to the circuit each day.

Anyone else going, what are you your plans?

We are going to be based in the constructors lounge, does anyone have any idea where on the circuit that is?!

I'm going to assume its in the Wing.

I can't find any details so i am assuming the same! It's also has a private viewing terrace too.

Well I guess I know where the "Constructors Lounge" is now! Got my VIP passes today.

My hospitality tickets have the same dress code on them too, we also have centre access

Silverstone Six?

Can't remember, they're at home so will take a look when I get home

Here is my ticket for comparison, obviously I have the VIP passes too.

edit - is there any chance you can take a pic of the full set of things / passes you've got and obviously ps out any personal details etc.?

I'm not our group organiser some I'm not sure if there is anything else but all I've got is the ticket and passes and lanyard (both pics in this thread).

Do you not have to stay within your class though for roaming? We had Gold in 2009 and we could go in the Gold or below grandstands but not the higher ones.

Anyone sit in club? tempted to book that or possibly silverstone six for next year

I was in Stowe Lakeside (Constructors Lounge) so we had a terrace all the way from Stowe down vale and sat in the grandstand on the inside of the track at club. It was an awesome place to sit and was good for overtaking action in all races that weekend.

OK i've just got off the phone to Silverstone themselves and the woman I spoke to is adamant and stated clearly that all I will need to get into the Hospitality area and enjoy the VIP access is the tickets I have. I asked her three times if that was definitely correct - that I would just need to bring both tickets, and solely both tickets - no lanyards, vip passes etc. and she affirmed that that is the case and that I will be given lanyards etc. on arrival once I have presented the tickets.

And I'm still no less confused.

So what happened? Did you manage to get into the centre and go VIP?

Did you buy them from silverstone themselves?

Our company had a table for 10 which we bought through Silverstone Hospitality
