    Just wondered if any fellow BT'ers are going for the F1?

    We're camping for the full Wed-Mon, as usual. Going to be a good one, this year!

    Been to Silverstone loads of times for the F1 but sadly not this year. It feels like I've worn the place out! It's always a great race, so you're sure to have a cracker of a weekend!

    As much as I would love to do a Silverstone weekend, there isn't enough overtime in the world to be able to afford the extortionate prices they charge - It was cheaper for us to do a weekend camping in Spa (Eurostar included) in 2012 than it was to get a weekend pass at Silverstone!

    Yes, it's definitely not cheap. We could have had a week at a very pleasant all-inclusive abroad for less than the ticket cost alone, never mind camping supplies on top... BUT... it's the British GP. The atmosphere is pretty hard to beat!

    Yep pretty much this, been eyeing up the MotoGP instead as it's a damn sight cheaper and you'd get a covered grandstand!

    Well, it was a great long weekend as usual. Did Club corner for P1-3 and Qualies and our Sunday tickets were at Luffield, so lots of action and a nice cover from the blazing hot orange thing in the sky. Never been so hot at Silverstone in my life. Track temp was 52c, hottest ever recorded.

    Already booked for next year again. Discount tickets for 2018 ticket holders made it slightly cheaper, but it's still bloody expensive compared to the Euro GPs - but still worth it!
