F1 2011 - Great Britain, Silverstone Circuit

Make sure you go for the friday practice and then you can sit anywhere. Becketts/Maggots is great you can get really close. Vale/Club is good for potential action, but I'd guess the prices have rocketed there now as now it's the start/finish straight.

Unless you live in silverstone camping is a good idea as the traffic is hellish.

Thank you. Becketts seems like a good option.

When I went the stand was quite far away from the track at Becketts. It's probably cheaper just to get the general entry tickets and stand in front of them!

You can get really good views from GA, but the problem is, you need to get there about half an hour before the gates open if you want to get a decent view.

From watching the GP2 and 3 races, the standing area near Luffield is great, as you have the timing pole thing right in front of you, and a big screen right behind, and a fair amount of action in front of you too!

If you do go though, I seriously recommend renting one of the Kangaroo TVs (called FanVision now) - more options than normal TV on those things!

Tickets booked. We chose Becketts!! Don't tell anyone, it's a 70th birthday present. He was 69 today - we'll obviously have to mention it before his birthday lol
