    Hi everyone, this is going to be my first time going to Silvestone, got gifted platinum weekend grand stand tickets. I am super excited but also quite intimidated I’m gonna make some big “first time mistakes”.

    I haven’t yet booked any accommodation. I’m looking now and there is a travelodge I can find in Northamptonshire for £64 or in Milton keyenes for the same amount. There is one right next to Silvertsone (apparently 3 miles from the circuit entrance) – Towcaster Silverstone Travelodge that’s £98 -> which one is worth getting?

    There are 3 of us so I don’t think camping will be worth it (apparently £50 per person so that makes it £150)

    How crowded does A43 get? How long will it take to get from Northampton to the circuit? Then comes to issue of parking… apparently that costs £50 too.

    Lastly, when are you meant to make it on the circuit itself on Saturday & Sunday?

    There is just a lot of things to take it. Can someone please write up their personal experience or link me to an “advice” like section? I’m in quite some need of help & it’s getting quite a bit overwhelming.
