F1 8th july

Is there any one going on the 8th of july go my tickets........ come on the brits

Not this year, we've been loads of times and it's getting a little boring.

They don't make any effort at all to entertain the fans, I want to see fast cars of any type on the track when the F1 cars aren't running, not boring acrobatic helicopters, a boring parachute display team and the red arrows are boring too when you've seen them a few times.

A few years ago they had a Renault Espace with a F1 engine which screamed around the track, also the Batmobile - they were great!

A Tornado bomber used to fly over very low too , right over our campsite - not anymore.

It's great if you haven't been before though, I hope I haven't put you off.

Think yourself lucky..

The one and only chance I got to go to Silverstone, was the fateful year where the parking was scandalous. I was stuck in traffic for 5 hours getting there, missed all the pre-race entertainment (not that there was much as it was foggy) The car parks were a quagmire, so after the race finished we just left so that we didn't get trapped, We had centre transfer tickets, but missed the start as we were actually under the track as it started

It was a fantastic race, but it wasn't worth the tme spent at a standstill on the way from the M1

The car parks were a quagmire

LOL . I remember.

It was great fun sitting under an umbrella on a camping chair from about 7.00 in the morning, we used to go in early to get a good position.

I'm marshalling/stewarding this year

Went one year with a bunch of mates and really enjoyed it.

Had enclosure tickets to the grandstand which helped keep us from the riff raff

High-light was standing by a massive TV wall watching a pre-race practice. I noticed SilverStone TV was showing us on the big screen all around the track and within seconds all my mates had piled onto me in a comedy orgy to the amusement of everybody around and watching the screen

Been there, done that...its a lot of fun

We're going to see the GT cars at Silverstone this year, reckon it might be more fun seeing a few Astons and Corvettes charging around a track

yep jock going this year! not got tickets yet though! Camping in the SRA field same as last year, should be good cant wait!

I will be there early Friday morning, with the wife get the tent and fridge set up, then wait for the rest of the friends to turn up and have a few beers. Not sure but I think there are a couple of F1 cars there and a few famous people, but to us its all about the beer, and seeing a few friends you haven't seen in a while:d

I hope so, it's my first year! I'm ready for the early mornings and the standing around... Because I get to see F1 cars

The first time is amazing, the speed and how loud they are, although they are quiter than the V10:)

I agree first time blows your mind, the sound is nothing like you imagine! last year you could tell the difference between the V8's and the restricted V10's they were so much louder!
