What a fantastic event that was, did all three days and everything thing went like clock work. Lots of friendly staff, everywhere clean and tidy, huge choice of decent food and drinks. First time I’ve been, I’ll certainly be back next year.

Hi Ewan ... glad you had a good experience of Silverstone (so many big events are a nightmare of facilities not matching numbers attending) ... only been there once (to watch a pal's son driving in British Formula 3) and my impression was the same .... though having spent years at hillclimbs where the cars are right there just feet away I found it hard to adjust to the wide open spaces.

Thanks for posting the photos Ewan,

I've not been to a live GP since Mansell mania in 1992, back then the road infrastructure often took 3 or 4 hours just to get offsite, but I agree Silverstone is a great venue and atmosphere

I was at that GP Jon, never been to another since, took us 5 hours to get out of the car park, great atmosphere but as far as watching the race is concerned I think it's better on the TV.

I have been back to Silverstone a couple of time for the Classic (as it used to be called) and had no entry/exit problems.

Come to think of it 5 hours is probably more accurate Steve, I still remember chatting to Murray Walker as he sat queuing in his blue 3 Series

The queues were fine at all times except the end on Sunday, but that was an accident at our car park exit. it was about two hours all told to get out including the diversion.
The F1 historic car were also fantastic, among others, Jenson Button took Mansell’s Williams out for a few screeming laps.
