WEC Silverstone
« on: February 10, 2015, 08:00:48 pm »
I'm intending to attend again this year, though I live very close to the circuit, I may have a few fellow CA's arriving from a far off place. My intention if they do decide to come is to make more of a weekend of it. So what I need to know is there any info out there with regards to camping options and are any other CA's going to attend for a few kegs or three?

Almost certainly going, but race day only, have a virgin coming with us to LM who I have to get up to speed on the intricacies of sports car racing.

I camped for the weekend when the Silverstone Classic was on. It was the main Silverstone campsite, one roundabout down from the main entrance (and the name escapes me). It was really excellent with a number of food stands, it's own pub and entertainment in addition to the main stage. Excellent security, various kind of pitches available from tent pitches to full motorhome parking facilities, electricity, water etc. I really enjoyed my stay there. Having said that, it was in the middle of summer and we had beautiful weather all weekend. I seem to remember that it cost about £50 for two night's, me, the tent and the Frogeye.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here

Probably Sunday only, but that depends entirely on the weather closer to the day.

Don't fancy freezing my t1ts off on the Saturday night - it was bad enough at Spa back in 2013, and that was May!

Wonder if they'll remember to open the bar on Sunday this year?

Seem to remember finding a bar open last year. Huge choice of Guinness or some crappy lager served by muppets who didn't know how to pour a pint.

Present if I get credentials for ELMS again this year.  Doesn't look promising though  :(

Looking at the golf club, stayed there before around 2000 for an ALMs race. Thing is it seems a little pricey.. May just drive each day.

Don't remember you complaining about the effect the cold had on the pit girls nipples. ;)

I have never EVER been as cold as I was at Silverstone WEC last year. Anyone in their right mind would never go back, see you there !!
