Silverstone traffic

[martinbrowning]

Hi there, I have tickets for this year's Grand Prix at Silverstone. Haven't been there for close on 20 years and what sticks in my memory is the traffic chaos/queues both to and from the circuit.
Has anybody had more recent experience and is it just as bad?

Thanks

The roads to and from the circuit are much better managed in recent years, but I would suggest using a park and ride scheme for the real easy access to the circuit. Northampton is a good place to Park and ride

went a couple of years ago, and did a small detour through stowe [past the school],,, straight in!!!!

edit; just re-read the original post...... my visit was to the silverstone classic, not the GP, so may be different.....

You can only park at he circuit if you have bought a carpark ticket, otherwise you have to buy a park and ride ticket.

Hopefully they have it reasonably sorted by now with park and rides.

They certainly have here, took me less than a hour to get home from the Austin race last year. 1/2 mile walk, 10 min bus ride to carpark, ~12 mile drive home on a direct route that didn't involve the major roads that were likely to jam up.

To see any fun / excitement / overtaking you would need to set it for 1970 !! or go to the Moto GP instead
