National Pit Straight Guide

A great sight to see an F1 car at full throttle as they arrive out of Woodcote and storm past before disappearing around Copse. A great place still to sit as all support races will start from here.

Copse Corner Guide

An awesome sight! Watch the cars kink right at near enough full pelt and pulling 5G for good measure and see them go over the slight brow towards Maggots.

Club Silverstone Guide

Identical to Becketts in terms of the view, but you pay a little extra to gain access to a nice food marquee, as well as some other goodies.

Becketts Guide

The best view of the Circuit. It’s an awe inspiring sight watching F1 cars change direction at full speed as they go through Maggots and Becketts, then just a few down shifts before they kink right and left at Chapel before thundering down Hanger straight towards Stowe. It’s not over yet as you can also see the cars come through abbey up towards the new Farm and Village sections. A great place for the start of the race and Tickets for here are sure to sell out fast with such a large amount of track on show.

Stowe Guide

Number 1 for overtaking. Watch them arrive at Stowe at 301KPH before breaking at nearly 3G to turn right and fly towards Vale and Club. With the new DRS system this year means overtaking is certain, for sure!

Club Corner Guide

A great view that always provides plenty of action, not to mention that this year it is the final corner and will provide a stunning view of the race start/finish and ceremony. Watch the cars break sharply for the tight left hander at Vale then watch them squirm as they try to put the hammer down as soon as possible as they go through the double right hander at Club.

International Pit Straight Guide

Nothing can prepare you for the raw of 24 angry F1 cars as the world’s greatest drivers begin the British Grand Prix. The new Start/Finish straight will provide you with an opportunity to watch the start of the race, which will completely take your breath away.

Abbey Guide

A fast right hander that gives you a great view of the first corner and therefore the start of the race. It is another great chance to see what an F1 car can really do at 295KPH as they sweep right and left towards Farm and Village.

Village Corner Guide

The first real corner that the cars will face and will be a great site as 24 F1 cars pile in there together on the first lap. A slow section of track that will see the cars tripping over each other as they break and turn right at Village before a short blast to the slow left hander at The Loop, then watch them blast out of Aintree before heading down the Wellington straight.

Luffield Guide

Another good overtaking opportunity. Watch the cars thunder from underneath the bridge before slamming on the anchors for the tighter Brooklands left hander. Then watch them cruise around the right handed Luffield before finding the right spot to push the pedal to the metal to fly towards the National Pits Straight.

Woodcoter Guide

Very similar to Luffield but with most seats getting a better view of the National Pit Straight and down to copse.
