F1 Silverstone 2013 - Anyone else going?
My brother, brother-in-law and myself have treated ourselves to a 3 day ticket in the International Pit Straight Grandstand for this years Silverstone F1, and Ive booked a EHU pitch for my caravan in the Silverstone Woodlands campsite.

Only 4 months away now, im getting excited Mr. Green . Anyone else going?

Yes and No if you get a good crowd in the box it's great if not its clinical

Sometimes the stands and hills are better at least they are enthusiasts Thumbs Up

I hadn't thought of that. I guess I'll be spending Thur, Fri & Sat roaming the circuit. Should be an interesting experience.

Im booked onto a standard size EHU pitch which is 8m x 8m, but wish I had paid extra for an 8m x 12m pitch seeing as I will have my caravan, full size Isabella Capri awning and LR 110. Everything has to fit within the pitch space.

This event has cost me a small fortune as I paid for three tickets with camping, then one of our party of 3 backed out. He was still going to pay me for his ticket and sell it on, but I wanted my brother to have it. Trouble is, I didnt think he could afford it so I told him the ticket was £170 instead of the £400 actual cost Shocked

Still, rather that then sell it to a stranger I guess!

Just got back from Le Mans and looking forward to the GP on Sunday. I'm taking my 6 year old son who's car mad so should be fun.

Only issue is that I've not arranged parking. If anyone has any suggestions or contacts (other than Park n Ride) then I'd be grateful of any advice. I'll be coming from Buckingham/Dadford direction and need to be as close as poss as I guess that my little lad will run out of enthusiasm after not too long and won't want a massive hike!
