Thanks for the info on teams guys. That's good news, as long as the weather stays nice. It's been excellent where I am today, (30 odd miles south on the A5).
I belive Jordan will be running Anthony Davidson tomorrow (tuesday). Bigted, public viewing is normally restricted to Luffield, although you can also view from the Bridge enclosure and that little gravel bit between Bridge and Abbey. Depending on what the crowd is like there might be a Burger Van and Ice Cream van. If not, then the Silverstone Racing Club is normally open to the public to use the drinks machine. |

There is a (Free..?) pitlane walkabout at lunchtime, otherwise no pit\paddock access during theother times.
The paddock Diner does sometimes see the teams eat in there (at smaller tests). I recall Coulthard snacking with his mechanics at one Mac pre season test. Scarbs... |

I think people with paddock passes can get into the pitlane during Lunch time. But to be honest it isn't all that worth it. You won't see much if anyting at all because the teams tend to bring down the shutters on the garages.
