Default FORD FAIR QUEUES??

I see some comments on the Ford Fair..

Anyone have experience on this before?
Will it be queuing for hours any time of the day or just when it opens?
Is it worth going later because if I go,it certainly will not be a stupid hour..


AnyOne????

Thanks

Try getting in round the back of the place as the queues aren't as bad in comparison to the front

lol ford fair queues after about 5 hours you might just have made it through the front gates.. hopefully if you can last another hour or so the retards may have directed you to where you are parking your car..
when i went cars were overheating at the side of the road they had been waiting so long

Lisa, quick tip

head for the actual village of silverstone through the back roads...then when u come to the village just head over the dual carriageway and join the slightly smaller queue and view over the bridge to see all the fookers queing in the single lane

got told this by a bunch of jap lads year before last when i went to traxs. They had 40 mins to get to the entrance otherwise they missed the briefing for the track time...and guess who followed them and got in very very quicky...that'll be me

The only reason for the bad queues last year was cos someone got stuck in the tunnel meaning no one could get to their stands.

In all fairness it wasn't the organisers fault, at least they got as many people off the main roads as they could. And as for cars overheating...... check ya fooking water level before you leave I was in a 21 yr old RSi last year and never had any overheating problems
