What time do people normally get into the track? Where is the best place to watch, i only have a ticket for the outside of the track.

Cheers

No doubt I will be there from the crack of dawn all 3 days. I've stood at Club, Stowe, and Becketts before now and to be honest I have enjoyed them all. If you can I should imagine Luffield is a good spot ... but i've always been put of with the crowds there.

Hope to see you there

It really is essential that you get into the track by 6am on raceday if you want a prime viewing spot, and to queue at the gates (5am) if you want to be right at the front. My favoutite spot is club, but different places offer different experiences and appeal to different types of people, therefore it's very hard to suggest a place to watch the action from.

Hi WoodyTJ

I shall be there all three days too. Do you want to meet up at some point? I will be in Woodcote for Qualifying and Luffield for the race. Send me a message (you know my number) if you're interested.

See you

Suzy

When I to a F3 meeting at Silverstone, i I sat in the Woodcote grandstand and saw quite alot ofthe track. (It was not the full GP track though)

I saw startfinish line, Copse (just), Bridge, Brooklands, Luffield and Woodcote.

WoodyTJ · 3 Jul 2001, 20:48 (Ref:112654)

I'm up for meeting Suzy and anyone else ...?

**Craig** · 3 Jul 2001, 21:22 (Ref:112677)

Sorry folks, don't intend wasting any more money on the GP like I did last year... i'll stay at home and watch it on TV...

SPOONERBORO · 4 Jul 2001, 01:34 (Ref:112771)

I think i must relieve the ten tenths banner from u that weekend mr anthill if your not attending

Claire · 4 Jul 2001, 12:45 (Ref:112931)

I will be there race day and I have a seat in Luffield. After the trauma of last year I am hoping things go a little smoother and I get to enjoy all the that the British GP has to offer. I agree you need to be there early I am lucky enough to have a parking pass so I expect to join the traffic jams around 6am. I will keep a look out for the banner, being very new to the forum and the web site how do you spot a ten tenther?

**bella** · 4 Jul 2001, 13:02 (Ref:112947)

practice day only.
am going armed with mfan's flags, and lots of petrol and coolant for the car...

WoodyTJ · 4 Jul 2001, 17:10 (Ref:113016)

Traffic Jams ... hummmm. Are people aware that unless you have a parking ticket you have to pay for the park and ride scheme that Silverstone have organised. Apparently this is due to only one entrance being open!?

Spoonerboro ...... yehhh GP is a must have for the ten-tenths banner!!!!

excited now

**Craig** · 4 Jul 2001, 17:12 (Ref:113019)

I can bring the banner to Goodwood and let Spoonerboro look after it. The trouble is getting it back for the weekend following the GP...

WoodyTJ · 4 Jul 2001, 21:04 (Ref:113119)

Remind me where you are going Craig?

Minardi fan · 4 Jul 2001, 22:23 (Ref:113144)

Looks like I am now going on Friday and Saturday. HURRAH!

mikebrown70 · 4 Jul 2001, 22:40 (Ref:113152)

I am only going fo the race day. I plan to stand at becketts as I have only been to Silverstone once and they used the short circuit. When do the queues start biulding up at the gates? Will all of the entrances be open?
