@th13teen should see you there then…
Yes it’s a fair way – about 1.5 miles I think. Not sure what walk is like,mostly along road and then past camping into circuit I’d guess.
I have to be at the track […]

I really don’t think risks are an enjoyable part of F1.
Its a part of F1, because they are in cars that are going very quickly, but I really don’t think it adds anything. Its all fine when no one is […]Girts replied to the forum topic Red flag – was it necessary? in the group
F1 10 years, 10 months ago
I very much agree with @th13teen and a lot of other F1 fanatics here.
It is probably true that, 10 years ago, the race wouldn’t have been stopped. I’ve also noticed that races get red-flagged because of rain […]

I find it amazing so many people do not seem to like the Sky Coverage!
I think a lot of people went into the Sky coverage deciding it was going to be bad because they were angry over the move to Pay TV.

It was a good race and the coverage was good enough for an opening race, how are you meant to just be able to create a programme that is right for everyone in the opening few days?
No one is ever […]

@th13teen – You may be right in that the STR drivers need more than one year at the team before taking the drive. However, you’re forgetting one person – Buemi. Helmut Marko said he did not have the potential to […]

@th13teen thats exactly what I’ve been thinking, although I’m reserving judgement until I’ve seen what Red Bull do, the fact that Mclaren have chosen to lower the whole chassis says to me that they’ve cottoned […]

@th13teen thats exactly what I’ve been thinking, although I’m reserving judgement until I’ve seen what Red Bull do, the fact that Mclaren have chosen to lower the whole chassis says to me that they’ve cottoned onto something others have missed.

@th13teen I loved sitting at Luffield, the cars slow up to go round the corner so you get a really good look at them, then they excelerate away from you. There was not loads of overtaking, but in the rain some of […]

This was my third time to Silverstone.
As always i went alone and camped at the woodlands camp site.
I took the train from London to Northampton and then the bus to Silverstone followed by a walk to the camp site. I had a 3 day ticket for Stowe C with Roving access on Friday and Saturday.
Arrived on Thursday afternoon, with the sun shinning and…[Read more]

I had a great weekend. 4th time seeing the british gp & my first time camping (what a year to start!! lol) I went by myself. (So if anyone saw a young woman in a JB hap & high-vis yellow coat walking around by herself… well that was meee :)
I didn’t have many issues over the weekend but that might be as I went via public transport (so didn’t…[Read more]
This is my first Grand Prix, I was enthusiastic even with the weather looking bad from the start!
We arrived at Campingf1 on Thursday, and soon took our bikes to have a cycle round Silverstone, to firstly be amazed and rather scared upon the size of the circuit, it had to big, but I did not expect it to be that big! Thursday was a beautiful day,…[Read more]
Wow their are some very eloquent responses above!
I was only able to attend for the ill fated Friday practice sessions. The journey down was a doddle, but once I reached the A43 it was obvious there were serious problems at the circuit or car parks judging by the sheer volume of traffic waiting to enter. Unfortunately this meant I missed all of…[Read more]
I was sitting in Club A on sunday and had a good view, I could see 2 big screens and the podium at a distance. It was my first GP and I really hope not my last as I think I caught the bug!
I got to the track at 8.15am after leaving home at 6.30am (I live around hour and a bit away) I got parked in a muddy field with no problems. I was worried…[Read more]
This was my first Grand Prix and despite all the mud, the rain and everything else the weather threw at us I absolutely loved it. We (my gf, her dad, a neighbour and myself) all travelled down from Scotland on the Thursday and were all set up at the main camp-site by early evening and while the weather was good but the ground was already very wet…[Read more]
This was my first Grand Prix like a few others here. I went with my dad, staying in Northampton, and taking a bus at 7 every morning. Someone told the bus driver to take a different route on Friday morning, turns out we had missed the infamous 6-hour traffic jam! By the sounds of it @f1vick was on the same bus as me!
Friday was spent at Woodcote…[Read more]
