Just enquiring if anyone on here is going to the F1 at Silverstone and has any car park availability they don't require I could buy off them?
Mrs has suprised me with ticket to the main race on the Sunday but after double checking the ticket they don't include parking 😬😕. As would be expected sadly all the car parks are full at this late stage and was just chancing on here that someone may either have a spare as part of a package they don't use..
Or even more of a bonus, if anyone on here actually resides or knows a Stokie who lives in Silverstone village itself with a spare space on the drive 👍🏻 ..
I do have a not so ideal plan B so no great shakes if nothing doing but if you don't ask you don't get as they say 😉🤣

SkyQ could be utilised in the background aswell so could still catch the action! To be fair always fancied doing at least one F1 GP live at Silverstone so the girl done good! Well aside from not considering the travel/parking aspect! 🤣

Well aside from not considering the travel/parking aspect! 🤣 done a few over the years and its a pointless exercise really as you miss most of the action.... one of the best was monaco, we hired a cafe balcony and could see the cars come out of the tunnel round swimming pool etc and back up the hill i wouldnt rush back too watch from a grandstand though

Looking like Plan B it is. Train & Coach from MK Station next week..
Unless anyone spots this message In next few hours or so with a golden nugget! 🤣 🏎
Just been watching the Goodwood Festival of Speed on TV, great to see Nigel Mansell riding Red 5 again for the first time in 30yrs. He got quite emotional about it aswell..

For info - I managed to get to the GP by megabus service in the end! Local pick up and drop off and dropped off at Silverstone by the main entrance. Had considered Park & Rides, & also the train to Northampton, Milton Keynes or Banbury with onward shuttle services. But then found Megabus provide direct return services from all parts of the UK which is quite a reasonable & hassle free experience.
Worth bearing in mind if anyone fancies going down to future F1 events and doesn't want the hassle of driving and parking/costs.

What time did you get to the track because when I went via a local(ish) pick up company some years ago (not Megabus) we missed most of the earlier support races.

Never had any problems….just straight off the Heli and off to the gig

Motorcycle transport in a good option also, but I'm not a rider and travelling pavilion isn't an option either due to ongoing injuries from a crash I was involved in 5yrs ago 🤨

What time did you get to the track because when I went via a local(ish) pick up company some years ago (not Megabus) we missed most of the earlier support races. Pick up was 8:15 & arrived at about 10:20 which included the standard congestion close to circuit, which I thought was pretty good as got there in time for the F2 Race aswell as the Porsche Cup and the classic car parade etc so didn't feel like I missed anything. Although the coach was booked through Megabus it was actually a chartered out coach company from Barrow in Furness with 2x drivers who took us due to distance & drivers hours I guess. Comfy '21' registered coach. As I'm Stafford based my local pick up point was Cannock near Junction 11 but there was one from Newcastle-U-Lyme also. Would have preferred to have been able to drive & park at the event but coach did the job just fine as everywhere parking wise had sold out.
