well when i went to silverstone last year i booked a very nice little B@B in towcester 3 months before the race(this was the now defunct silverstone 1000km the very wet one as well)and this was the only hotel with a booking the rest of the hotels in the area were fully booked and at our hotel were i was staying horst felbamayer was staying there but i never got a chance to talk to him because he never got back till about 10/11 at night at the hotel and i would hear him leaving at about 6 in the morning so must be tiring which means i would fail in motorsport straight off, book your hotel as soon as possible because the hotels were fully booked and to the person in the thread whose first time it is you will love your first taster of "the noise" as i like to call it and you will want to come back for more and more
