Silverstone - what to expect?

[knip]

Ok so I am a complete petrolhead, and will be jumping about like a loon once the racing gets underway, but can those of you have been to Silverstone before tell me what I should try and see/do, what things I need to take with me, and what sort of stands, other things there are to see before the main event gets underway.

I am going Saturday and Sunday, will be there late morning on Saturday, and then very early on the Sunday.

Gimme some hints/tips/useful info please!!!
Fanks!

Thanks Phil thats brilliant, will I have to take lots of cash, or do places take cards?

Will there be signs up, giving us the frequency?

I take it this is all just for the Sunday, whats the parking like on the Saturday? We have a park and ride pass for the Sunday.
Thanks you lot this is all really helpful!
Are earplugs really necessary, I thought that was all part of the fun?

Rain. But due to the Great British Summer, you'll need to go prepared for all weathers.

Im hoping they might be selling F1 ponchos for that very purpose!
Thanks everyone youve given me some great tips, keep em coming!

Give Kimi a cheer for me, Knip! Or, if you must, just cheer on that other fella you seem to like. What's his name..?

Take an umbrella (my top tip there) and enjoy yourself. I'm sure us Grand Prix posters will spare you a (jealous) thought on Saturday/Sunday.

Thanks, will be weird actually not posting in the GP thread, as for a brolly I am hoping to purchase an F1 brolly at some point in the weekend. And yes I shall be cheering on all the British guys, lets hope Jenson can have a successful weekend, and I have my face on DC's car which will make me wince every time he gets a bit too close to a kerb or barrier
Plus I will be cheering for the lovely Lewis as well.
I promise to come back and bore you all silly with it!
(promise to do a yay for Kimi at some point just for you LD! )
