FORMULA 1 - Santander British Grand Prix
Sunday 10 July 2011

 
The British Grand Prix is one of the great British sporting events and recent upgrades have made Silverstone an even better venue for the spectator, both in terms of access and greater use of big screens to keep you in touch with the action. The track remains one of the truly great drivers’ circuits, with flowing corners and long straights that really allow the drivers to push their cars to the limit, while the relatively flat nature of the track means good viewing almost everywhere.

 

Our popular British Grand Prix weekend package includes two nights accommodation at the 4 Star Marriott Hotel Leicester, full daily breakfast and your choice of Grand Prix tickets. General admission gives you access to the outside of the circuit and to one of the designated general admission viewing areas. Grandstand seats include a roving seat on Friday & Saturday and a reserved seat in your chosen Grandstand on Sunday.

About Woodcote
You've seen them negotiate the Luffield complex now watch on as the drivers launch the cars through Woodcote and accelerate down the National Pits Straight. Woodcote gives spectators great views of the slower Luffield complex, the acceleration zone of Woodcote and the high speed National Pits Straight.
About Village B (Previously Arena B)
The Arena section offers amazing views of a complex of corners designed for overtaking. With the cars approaching at full speed from Farm Curve, watch on as they stamp on the brakes for the tight right hander (Village Corner) directly in front of you and jostle for position through the following left hander (The Loop). Hear the scream of the awesome V8 engines as they accelerate past you onto the Wellington Straight
Village B provides multiple views of the track and great views as the drivers approach Becketts
About Luffield
One of the best seats in the house, watch as the cars enter the Luffield Complex. It's then hard on the power as the drivers accelerate out of Luffield and through Woodcote. The cars are in view for a prolonged period of time, allowing you to soak up all the breathtaking noise and atmosphere.
About Club
It's hard on the brakes for the drivers as the left, right chicane provides a great opportunity to gain an advantage before the run up to the International Pits Straight.
Club is going to offer some amazing views for the spectator. For 2011 the Grand Stand will be elevated so that you will see the cars come round Stowe Corner, speed down Vale into Club Corner and disappear down the NEW International Pits Straight. Not only that, you will also have fantastic views into the Pit Lane and Pit Entrance.
About Becketts
One of the most famous and historic corner complexes in the world - loved by the drivers. Great views of the cars as they flick left and right, battling for the best exit on to Hangar Straight. Becketts offers views of the drivers approaching the fast Maggotts-Becketts complex and out towards Chapel. Becketts is a covered grandstand.
One of the biggest areas of improvement has been the location of Becketts Grandstand which has been raised and re-aligned giving spectators the chance to see action twice per lap - as the cars come through Becketts and then again as they come up through the new Arena Complex. Spectators will see the drivers enter The Loop, speed into Aintree Corner and disappear down Wellington Straight.
About Farm Curve
For 2011 Farm Curve will have great views of Abbey, the first turn after the new Start/Finish position. Watch the cars scream around this first corner into Farm Curve. This year Farm Curve will also have great views of the Pit Lane exit, where the cars battle to come out in front.
About Village A (Previously Arena A)
The Arena section will offer amazing views of a complex of corners designed for overtaking. With the cars approaching at full speed from your right, (Abbey) watch on as they stamp on the brakes for the tight right hander (Village Corner) and jostle for position through the following left hander (The Loop) and onto the Wellington Straight.
About Club A
It's hard on the brakes for the drivers as the left, right chicane provides a great opportunity to gain an advantage before the run up the International Pits Straight. Club A offers views of the drivers speeding down Vale and entering the slow left, right chicane before taking off up International Pits Straight.
About Vale
Vale is a fast, downhill straight that follows on from the high speed Stowe corner. Expect outbraking manoeuvres in to the tight left at Vale. Vale offers views of several straights and corners, including Stowe, Vale, Club, Farm and portions of Hangar Straight. A great value place to spectate. Vale offers views of a wide area, including Stowe, Vale, Club, Farm and portions of the Hangar Straight.
