Thanks for the tip. Do you know if they also sell or will sell grandstand seating for this event?

Knowing them they will see what the trend is and open maybe one section of a main stand, saves money on stewarding.

On the email I got when got the tickets seating was not an option to select and also it's an open pit lane event so can go wandering round looking at the cars

There’ll be a very limited number of stands open, and Silverstone being Silverstone they won’t be the ones with the best views.
It’ll be an open paddock, not pit lane

Last time I did WEC there it was an open pit lane, (not during the race obvs). and a number of teams had tables set up for drivers doing signed photos etc.

True about the stands though.

According to their FAQ there will be. I cannot seem to find the info about the price rise on 6th January. Wish they would put them up on the site as don't want to get stung by a price rise just because they put grandstand seats up post 6th.

More info here: https://help.silverstone.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/2...

Grandstand seats will be included in the entry price, nit extra, and will be free roaming

Open paddock =/= open pitlane.

With the WEC race in 2019 it was an open paddock with an open pitwalk at some point during the day (It was the start of the day on the Sunday of the WEC race) similar to how events like British GT operate.


The grandstands that were open back then were: Opposite the F1 pits, Village, Vale and maybe part of the National Pit Straight IIRC.
I definitely don't remember the likes of Becketts, Chapel, Stowe etc. being open.

Oh that's a fair point actually, that's how they did it for the WEC when Silverstone used to host it
