Been a few times, I thought the abbey was a good spot but as the new paddock will be across from there it will be more expensive now, if you get a weekend ticket I would get a car pass as parking is an issue, great weekend but as said above, you do see more on the tv

Great atmos, but its a early start on qual/race day to get a decent spot if you get a general admission ticket. Think we got up about 4am, and were queing up by 5am. Id go for a grandstand ticket if you can afford it.

3 day pass for us was 300 each for woodcote we never went on the friday , stoped at alton towers on way down , parking isnt a problem if you buy a parking ticket ,it takes a while to get in but its part of the atmosphere driving past all the camp sites and that its mega

As said if you get general admission you need to be up very early!

If you go for a grandstand seat then the Becketts complex is meant to be the best as you can see the newer section of the track as well.
