Arthur Brown Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi, I have started another thread rather than hi-jack the snetterton one. Is it possible to put a motor home on a site at the race track for visiting practice/race etc. at the UK Grand Prix. Anyone done it? Answers on a postage stamp please.

Art Hi Arthur This isn't yet another shameless plug for the opposition - honest! Lizzie Pope, Digital Ed for PMH, is also a motorsport fanatic, so if anyone will know if you can do this, she will. Try posting it over on their forum and she'll pick it up. (OK, declaring interest - as most people here know I'm their moderator, but only for love, not money!)

bobalobs Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A google search will show that there are a number of sites around Silverstone open for the Grand Prix and some of these open for other events such as the Silverstone Classic which we go to. We stay at Woodlands Campsite which is large but only a few hundred yards from the circuit and they supply farm trailer transport in if needed. New shower blocks were built about three years ago and has entertainment on site if that is your scene. We used to use Whittlebury Park which is further out particularly if Becketts gate is not open though it should be for the Grand Prix. It is at the opposite end of the track from the International pits and facilities rather tired when we were there unless you managed to get in to the adjoining golf club!

colin Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 When booking online you are offered option of camping in two different sites 'family friendly'(? ) or 'Party/group'(? ) (can't remember quite what they call them) , compared to the price of GP tickets I don't recall these being outrageously expensive.

sss Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes you can m/h at the F1 BGP. The choices are at the 'circuit' campsite which is close and has tractor rides to the gate. As someone else has mentioned they have noisy and family type areas. There are also a number of temporary sites around the area that provide various facilities and have a variety of prices.

AndyB Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Would recommend woodlands. Much closer than other sites. Have booked a family pitch with hook up for 2014 along with grandstand seats in stowe For the race. Last year stayed in camping f1 fields. Great entertainment but a long walk to the circuit. Be warned you will need to be at the circuit by 6am on the Sunday to get a decent view if you Don't or can't book grandstand seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I see that at the manufactures meetig no atempt was made to over turn Bernies idea of double points for last race of season, so I expect to get half price tickets to British GP >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
