Given the price of tickets I decided been there once, that seen it done it.
There is usually a lot of cheap camping offered. We stayed at Lichlake Camping just across the road when we first and last did it.
Thanks Vegas, and know what you mean about the inflated ticket prices .. outrageous! Thankfully I get press access so the 3 of us are splitting the cost of 2 tickets to make it more bearable! The "advance" ticket prices are a joke too because once you've added the Ryanair style "booking fee" it works out nearly the same as if you turn up on the day .. this is no incentive just in case, say, one of you drops out etc!
Definitely Litchfield camping for us. Silverstones own is nearly 4 times the price! Not a fan of Silverstone and it's aggressive fleecing policy .. grrrr!
As for TV coverage Si, think Motors has covered it in recent years but not check this time around.....
