Friday at silverstone MOTOGP

[simonbamg]

Hi all, i'm going to watch the first warm ups at silverstone on Friday i'm in the area and have a day off, just wondered if anyone had any tips on what to do or where to watch, there are only 2 45min sessions so want to get a decent view. thanks

Since the renovations a few years ago there's hardly a bad seat in the house.

Becketts grandstand would be a good shout. If you get near the top and bring some binoculars you'd get a cracking view of the bikes going through the arena section as well.

You can also get to a little railing right at the turn in for Maggots, I watched the WEC cars practice from there and it's some sight!

I'll be there all weekend as always .
Becketts a good shout,also,out of copse and into Stowe I like watch.
For close ups and slow riding luffield complex is popular too.
Or village....

Try and watch the other classes to get an idea of where you think you might like to view.

Wel I got sunburnt, which is unheard of at Silverstone!
Took 750 odd pics and am looking forward to tomo....

Saw MM93's huge highside in front of us, that was a big one, but luckily he walked away....

CC35 looking good too....

It was superb bit of a bucket list ticked off for me, the noise the speed, seeing my heros, good tips on the viewing spots as well, I'm going back Sunday now, only fault is the track... too spread out, considering Valencia at the end of the season now I'm hooked... and I burnt my head in a big way! ( moto 3 was great as well ).

Where did you watch from in the end ?

Today, I did Luffield, maggots/beckets and then stowe/ practise start area of hanger straight.

Back tomo.....

Becketts grandstand is covered. I watched the F1 from there but it's HIGH and the wind on Saturday was turning me into an icicle. Bloody freezing it was!

I think its the height that catches the breeze, as even today a hoody was required.

However, MM93 did survive the biggest highside ive ever witnessed directly in front if us from there today......
