It's a risk sneaking it in, but the beer at the circuit is about eleventy billion pounds a pint!

Got some tickets through this morning, not left any time to plan anything! Managed to get some people for Sat but if anyone wants tickets to Sunday I should have 2-3 available.
Walked straight in wth a cooler full of beer.
And £5 for a cold burger... Awsome.
Sat just before the double s bends.

I hadn't been to Silverstone before, so tried a few of the granstands throughout the day. Personally I liked Becketts as you could see a lot of the track

Went really early in the morning, got there for 9 and watched the good bits, went home at about 12 when the tunnel to get to the middle bit was jammed at all ends, no thank you!
Was a nice day out, the missus enjoyed it too, the Renault girls at the merchandise shop were tasty as were the PC Tools girls

Copse tunnel is where most people headed to get Infield, although you could use any of the bridges just as easily. Didn't use Copse tunnel myself all weekend and went infield etc. For the pitwalk, the entrance was by the inspection compound (which is Infield of Copse), as they used the National Straight/Pits rather than International, which did mean that they ended up with long queues.
Brilliant weekend, camping with a few others made it brilliant fun, got a good thousand or so pics of the cars on track.
M40 South on the way home though...that was poor, so much traffic.
we left after the last clio race, didnt catch the final race but it seemed most others had the same idea :/
only had traffic on the A43 to the M1 then it was ok all the way up north. took bout 3 hours with 2 toilet breaks.
next year we are def going prepared, cooler box, beer, bbq, chairs.

I did the pitwalk last year and it was a total bunfight and as it wasn't in the new wing this year didn't bother with it.
Sat in the Luffield grandstand for most of the day which isn't a bad place to watch tbh, seemed more grandstands open this year than usual not sure if there was or not.
Was quite cool to walk down the old bridge part of the racetrack which they've converted into a spectator walkway as well.
