Advantages: local circuit, centrally located in UK, great races, free car parking
Disadvantages: F1 tickets expensive

...Mention the word Formula One (F1) and your heart starts beating a little faster this is where you will experience high octane, big V10 engines that power the cars reaching up to 12,000rpm going round the track! Awesome! If anyone has never heard an F1 car..it is loud!! Silverstone is one such place where you can see some F1 action come alive! As this opinion is submitted under the only category ciao has about Formula 1: Silverstone “racing circuits” the first part will be devoted to the circuit itself and last part to some basic current analysis of the 2001 race. If you wish to read detailed race results reports please read Yhwman’s opinions, which are usually under the same category (racing circuits). Silverstone ------------- Silverstone based in Northampton has been home to the British Grand Prix since... Read review

Advantages: Britain’s Best, Great Track, Okay Facilities, Good Transport Routes, The History
Disadvantages: A Bit Old, Rocky Car Parks, Long Walks, Expensive Experience

...The majority of opinions on motor racing circuits at Ciao are about a track as Martin Brundle would describe it, or a race review as one would find in Autosport magazine, let’s face it, chances are you are not going to get a lap round the famous GP circuit there, and how “helpful” are post race reviews? Silverstone is Britain’s most celebrated and international race track, the home of the British Grand Prix. This opinion aims to give some insight to you about a day out at Silverstone, I hope to leave no stone unturned… I have a season Paddock pass for the FIA GT championships and May 11-13 hosted the fourth round of the Eurosport Super Racing Weekend at Silverstone, including action from the FIA GTs, FIA Super Touring cars, FIA SPC and Formula 2000 Renault. It would have been such a waste not to visit... Read review

Advantages: Great track, lots of extra features and options now
Disadvantages: Access and prices.

...This is the First ever ciao review that I wrote and was appalled at my standard of writing 7 years ago! Therefore I have decided to rewrite it and hopefully get some of those justified but very low marks changed! Silverstone. What is it? Well, its a very famous auto racetrack buried deep in countryside of Northamptonshire that is home to the British Formula 1 Grand Prix. Based on an old Aerodrome from World War 2 (Runway is still there), the track weaves around the leafy lands or middle england with the main complexes all situated centrally. While hosting the British Grand Prix, it also regularly holds other motorsport events such as Porsche Super Cup, British Touring Car and even Superbike meets. As well as the race events, it also hosts its own "Race Experience" days where you too can drive on the famouse bends... Read review

Advantages: The layout of this track means you can see more of the race than any other track.
Disadvantages: British Weather

...Racing, Rock Concerts, Air Displays - Silverstone packs more into it's Grand Prix Weekend than any other race. It's the best show in motorsport at a track which is fast, spectacular and has the largest tradition in the modern era of F1. It's also among the best attended races in the season with a partisan crowd to match those at Monza or Imola. Five wins by British drivers in the last ten years has endured that the thousands of patriotic fans have gone home happy. Last years the honors went to David Coulthard with Eddie Irvine only two seconds behind. Silverstone is one
