    I’ve got Club Corner tickets and have booked cancellable accommodation just outside Milton Keynes but am now looking into motorhome hire to avoid getting snarled up in traffic each day. Some motorhome companies offer to drop off and pick up, so I’m investigating those, although driving shouldn’t be a problem.

    So it’s a question of choosing a good place to park it. Does anyone have any recommendations or, more importantly, places they wouldn’t recommend. Or links to places where these things are discussed? I’m more interested in a good night’s sleep than a party atmosphere, but somewhere with facilities (bar, food etc) would be good.

    Your plan sound very similar to mine,have club tickets and plan on flying in to Birmingham and driving a motorhome to the circuit. A number of people have reccomended the woodlands campsite given its the closest location to the circuit, however any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Also can anyone recommend a motorhome rental company?

    I haven’t had any luck with finding a company that drops off and picks up, at least not one that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. So like you, I’m investigating self-drive motorhomes now, and any recommendations would be handy

    We bought Club Corner tickets and Woodlands camping with electric for two people when they were first released last year. At the moment it is looking unlikely that we can attend. Can anybody advise where/how to sell the package on if we definitely cant go?
    We’ve never had to cancel an event like this before so not sure where to start?
    Thanks.

    Sitting in Village for race day, camping at Hamilton fields. First time I’ve been to the British Grand Prix since 1998 (and what a race that was)! Bummed that Travis played last year, I would have loved to have seen them too.

    Stubhub is a reseller of GP tickets. I haven’t used them but they have a good reputation.

    Seating at Becketts for race this time. Think these cars will be amazing through this section this year. Looking forward to it!

    Anyone interested in a parking ticket?

    Regarding the parking ticket, it’s a 3-day circuit pass for 1 vehicle/2 people. Cost price £65, will sell at a discount as Silverstone are still selling them directly at that price.

    Hi

    I bought my tickets early so wasn’t put into the raffle for pit walk passes much to my annoyance. So I was wondering if anyone has been lucky enough to get bands for the Thursday pit walk but are not arriving until Friday or just don’t want them.

    It would be wonderful if I could find some if anyone out there have got any spare?

    Here’s hoping 🤞
    Thank you
    Debs
