Not me, I decided not to pay the high prices this year and make Bernie even Richer :-(
Will relax at home and watch on tv, apart from missing the great atmosphere you see far more of the race on TV

Anyone know the costs involved for a weekends F1 live viewing these days? Last time I went 'live' was as part of James Hunts entourage in Spain in 1976, (he won) and it cost me nowt!  Since then I have been an ardent screen viewer, alone and in parties - you see so much more detail! |

I guess costs vary a good bit. £229 for a general admission ticket here's the link www.ticketstosee.com/order/348/Then I would have flights and accomo and food on top That's WAY too much to pay for the 5 of us fizzy |

Well i will be making my way down to Silverstone on Thursday to get a good pitch for the Tent, got a 3 day ticket for £239 with a seat in Stowe A for the Race. Bought after last years race.....Great veiws of them coming down Hangar Straight. ;D
Not sure how much the camp site has charged, approx £60/80 for 4 days. Thursday to Monday. And its only a 5 min walk to the circuit......Cant come soon enough. Just hope the rain stays away this year
Gonna be one hell of a send off for Silverstone and a Brawn Win a must, whether it be JB or Rubens . ( But hopefully JB) ;D ;D ;D

How do you manage to go for a pee when camping there?  Take your own potty? And eating? Cook your own or pay for food out?  I'm just wondering as there may come the day when I do this to.... tho dammit if I'm paying £329 per person x5 for us all just now (can get a hol abroad for 2 weeks for that pp) fizzy |

You can get tickets for the Indy 500 for $20. Plus another $5 or $10 if you park on speedway property. |

Guess it all goes in BE's pocket at the end of the day. Hence I will be watching on telly........ I may be wrong, but I'm kinda glad I won't be watching qualis and the build up to qualis live...if it's going to be a JB show then I am not interested.... BUT the BEEB have been real good in their build up to races these days and focused on other teams and drivers. fizzy |

I'll be camping too Fizzy, we take our own food and eat out, as the pub in the village serves great food and there is a little Spar too, (it must rake it in). The SRA were we camp as toilets, showers, a bar (of course) and has a bbq going too, even at 6am! General admission tickets are about £99 I think, and you can get some great views. I just love it, and wish it was on for many more years to come- Donington just aint the same.

Sounds wonderful susieq Reason I'm asking about camping is coz I want to go to Knockhill and camp there in Aug. I'm not confident or strong enough, to take the caravan there myself. But I'll happily take the tent + 3 kids! Back to BGP, I'll be taking the tiny telly to see qualis on Sat. It plugs into the car f*g lighter and tho it's black and white picture the sound is good.... But GTP results may be a little late fizzy |

we have a motorhome it has all mod cons but we park near oxford and are driving in and parking on site this year , friday we have roaming ticket which means you can get good photos from all the stands. I want Button to win at home it was great to see Lewis and DC do it before. I think you have to watch a live race once just to feel the buzz |

Will be in Woodcote. Can't remember which one. Will be in the circuit until 10pm on Sat night partying. Breakfast at crack of dawn in SRC ;D Decided as its likely to be the last at Silverstone for the forseeable future it was worth doing one last time.

Webber on Kimi
"Kimi was, I don't know, drinking some vodka or dreaming or something, I don't know what hell he was doing but he should have been on the right and he was on the racing line, dreaming. That wrecked my rhythm really into Stowe, I was very tight into there".
"Kimi couldn't have done a better job of distracting me. He was right on the racing line, on the most important lap of qualifying and it ruined my rhythm."
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Webber :-)
