I has.

The app should provide a running update once the race is on, but hate to think how much data that will be.

Remember that O2 charge £3/mb for data in Western Europe.

I'm going to sign up for a data bundle which is £20 for 20 mb [there is also £50 for 50 mb]

Got through just over 20 mb last year & ran up a whopping £117 bill!

Cheers fran for pointing Andy in the right direction.

TBH gven the costs its not really viable for roaming but it could be useful for those staying the good side of the channel.

Others will come along, BMW did one for the 24 race at the 'ring, easiest to just seach your app store on the phone.

is there any wifi spots around the track?
Mc Donalds seem to do free WiFi wherever they are, but the closest one is on the inside of the circuit, just after the first chicane on the Mulsanne.
