Right then, I am goin to look for advice as I am going on Sat and Sun. I new advice on:

Clothing and footwear,
Food and money,
Places/corners to visit
Time of arrivals and departures.

As I haven't been to Silverstone since that muddy quagmire in 2000. On Saturday, I will be getting the train and on the shuttle bus from Northampton for the qualifing. On Sunday, I will be going on the Megabus to the circuit.

Thank you.


Get there as early as possible, especially if its wet. The traffic can be absolutely chaos even on a Friday morning for practice, and on the Saturday the covered grandstands will get full very quickly if its wet.

Emergency wet weather plan is underway for the campsites

Are you going to the drivers press conference? I expect to hear F1 Zone mentioned when I watch it. :D

Drivers PC is at 3, so probably. Need to talk to other journos to get into some sort of comfort zone!

I'll try, but I don't have any questions planned at the moment. Will think of something on the spot probably. What days you going to be there? Mobile no?

Nah, we aren't questioning that it's real. "Real" is something we say on SG, as in "Real Racin'", or something that's awesome.

Lotus to join forces with The Dark Knight Rises for the upcoming British Grand Prix

The deal means the team's cars, as well as its garage, driver helmets and overalls, will feature the film's iconic logo throughout the Silverstone event this weekend.

Lotus said the movie's Tumbler vehicle will also be on display during the British Grand Prix.

"This season we have been the dark horses in the championship fight, so this partnership with The Dark Knight Rises is a fantastic match," said team boss Eric Boullier.

"Our car, the E20, looks superb with the Batman branding and we are looking forward to seeing the reaction of our numerous fans when it takes to the Silverstone circuit this weekend.

"We are certainly hoping for an epic conclusion for The Dark Knight Rises E20 in the grand prix."

Phil - You're able to attend the GP as a part of the press, accessing parts of F1 people only get to dream about. Pray for you, just because of a bit of rain? pah! Not a chance... :p

Looks like we will have heavy showers for tomorrow and Saturday. Sunday is still wet but not like tomorrow though.

I have downloaded Accuweather and Met Office weather apps so I can keep an eye on the weather throughout the weekend!
