Ive managed to get hold of a couple of tickets for saturdays Qualifying.
But they r for a company working on site who i might be helping out and i need to find some parking(which the ticket doesnt cover)outside the circuit.
Now ive been on the octagon website and have seen that u r able to buy tickets on the day at siverstone for the qualifying, so does this mean parking is free on saturday????

Ill be on my bike so if it isnt probable leave it in a ditch somewhere.

If you're on a motorbike then you don't need a parking ticket.

We went last year on my R1 and you get FREE parking outside the main gate. They also have the charity helmet bus there (Sat and Sun) so you can dump your helmet for a quid. (I actually dumped my complete leathers for an extra couple of £'s as well)

The whole Silverstone thing on a bike is a piece of cake. The parking is on hard standing. You are no more than 20 metres from the main gate. Nice folks at the helmet park and filtering past miles and miles of stationary cars. Wouldn't do it any other way.....

That's great news Tin-tin as I've got VIP tickets from Toyota for Sunday.

Must remember to wear my "Cars suck" T-shirt back to front

Blagged some freebies for tomorrow as well still at least the F3000 race should be interesting. I will be driving so is there car parking available or not? I'm rather confused

'Fraid I'm another freebie boy, the lasses aunt lives in the village (end of her garden is the circuit boundary) so she gets complimentaries. However the best bit is the feeling of hopping over the fence after the race and sinking into a leather armchair infront of an open fire with a monster G&T and Cuban whilst glancing out the window at all the muppets going gradually insane in the endless miles of traffic
