Well there are a number of options you've been given. One is that your guest stays all weekend, another is to ask for an additional pass for a vehicle before or even upon arrival, the final option is to pay for parking.

I know of people that would rip your arm off for a GP ticket.

I did end up calling IMS and I could have had a spare car pass for the campsite had I not left it until the day before sign-on, after the last post had been sent . Not bothered, my friend's thankful to be there, I'm grateful for the chance, looking forward to getting there later on!

The first time I went, it involved a short country walk after parking the car in Whittlebury and then a quick crawl through a hole in the fence behind Maggotts that was hidden from prying eyes by a camper van that had been driven into the public area of the circuit.

That saved me £3.50, some on which I spent on a Ligier baseball cap. I thought I looked the bee's knees in that. I probably looked like a prat really ....

Nice gesture to get a free Grandstand ticket for your Guest.
Thank you Silverstone.

First F1 action ? Pic is sucked into the tyres at Club by the irresistable effect of 'Magnet' Miller.

Something that Canada has done for a while now - only they give us two guest passes for a different grandstand each day!

I thought Jan was pushing her luck 'shepherding' him away from the scene of his small contact with the wall.

She didn't actually touch him. We'd discussed him specifically and his love of being fondled

It was almost perfect, close enough so he couldn't go any other than the direction she wanted him to go, but far enough so an accidental touch didn't happen, but not much margin for error, or at least that's what it looked like from the TV.

Still, if you don't go for it and push your luck a bit, you're not going to achieve perfection...

A huge thank you to everyone on Post 7, Turn 4, lightboard whatever for a very enjoyable weekend. I was home and showered before 5pm thanks to Adrian's navigational skills. Now going to sit down and watch what really happened, not what I thought I saw, particularly in this mornings G3 race.
To the 4 G.P. virgins, hope to see you again next year.

Well, for my first Grand Prix that was a brilliant weekend. I'm not the greatest of fans of F1, but seeing it live was so different. I'm still at the circuit campsite getting ready to head back now.
Thanks to all on post 13, Luffield in, and those at Luffield centre with us flaggies for a great few days.

Well done you lot, heard what was happening while at Brands.

Doing us proud as usual. (Hopefully be there myself next year)

Bet you were all a bit sweaty after all that running about.

I have decided that I will only ever observe again (should I get fit enough to go back out on the bank) if I can have the fantastic Hi-definition slo-mo coverage piped to me in real time, so my reports would be really good. And that is for all levels, not just F1!

Now you know why I stuck at flagging!

Watching the race on TV certainly "tyred" me out! (I'll get my coat.)

I watched it at home this year, having decided to give it a miss for a year to see if I could recover my jaded 'MOJO' for the event.

Great work by everyone throughout the weekend from what I saw.

It was rather good, wasn't it? Cracking team at Luffield, despite having a quiet weekend compared to the Loop & Hangar folk!
