This site specialises in it, but I think they're including hotels: http://www.formulatours.com/ copy

i loved it. from the photo, you can see how close we were. pity it was so cold and wet though. we were at the pitlane entrance on a fast bend. lots of spins ect. totaly loved it. just got to remember nose plugs, and to bring our own food next time. so expencive. 5 quid for a burger. ear plugs were 6 quid. but i don't need those lol. maybe not next year or the year after, 2011, i'll follow the f1 round the world. i allways watch it on tv, but seeing it live and all the warm up races and air displays, you just can't compare it. ok you see more on tv, but f1 needs to be felt and lived. you can hire kangarootv that show carcams and play pit radio. it'd be wasted on me. but it's a clever idea.

Unfortunately everything to do with F1 is expensive.

Ear plugs at £6 though - you can get proper ear defenders for a lot less than that in the proper shops!
H&S should be insisting that everybody be issued free with a set at the front gate.

It does sound like an awesome day out though - I've never been.
One of these days....

Actually, I've been waiting until the nipper is a bit older, then I want to take him to Le Mans (or maybe the Le Mans Classic) in my kit car. That's going to be an adventure...

you should go. i highly recomend ir. take warm clothes and your own food, drink and sweets. as everything is over priced. the trade stalls are very alike in what they sell so can be boring. the team stalls are very interesting though. i mannaged to lift a tyre. they weigh a ton. on the 2 days before the actual race there's alot going on. helicopter rides and events. parking was easy, we got there at 7am. it's a very long walk from the carpark to the track though. about a mile. it took about 20 minutes. i sugest you take about 20 quid in cash. there are theives about. and don't take any cards. if you go, you have to go in the car simulator. you wouldn't beleive how uncomfortable an f1 car is. it's a fiver for a 3 minure simulation. that's twice round the spanish track and into the pits. try to get seats in thewoodcotte A stand. but high up. our seats were b136 and trackside. while being great, your view is alittle limited. the loo's were revolting, but it's not something you can easilt avoid lol. i'm taking a funnel next time so i don't have to sit on a wet seat. how old is your son? if he's over 6 or 7 he'll love it. any younger and it'll be wasted on him really. wellie boots will be useful too. i'll see you at the british gp next year lol.
