    I've booked to go with he family. Will be my first GP race to watch live. Also the wife and kids all who enjoy the racing.


    I'm going early Sunday morning and know I will be back late Sun evening.

    Anyone booked? Going etc... I have booked the roaming tickets and hope they are worth it

    Would be great to meet up with others there

    havent booked yet, but i go every year, so this will be no different.
    I go with the wife and my sister and brother in law. Their son may be in tow this year too.
    We buy the roving grandstand tickets too.
    I will buy weekend tickets and be there Saturday and Sunday.

    True. Fuji once gave me a 'Kiss my Arse' pass for British Touring Cars at Thruxton. It did feel good trying to look down on the great unwashed from the Seat hospitality suite, but the view was mainly spoiled by hot and cold running waitresses.

    Its always a "weekend away" thing with my wife, sister and brother in law on the bikes.
    If I took Adam we would have to go in the car, and to be quite honest, id rather not bother than sit in cues for hours.

    May be a long day for the wife and kids can't comment on Silverstone but Donnington Traffic was a nightmare you can't win, you get in early to miss the traffic but it makes the day twice as long.
