    Silverstone, the home of Motorsport, the home to the Formula 1 British Grand Prix…read more I have been lucky enough to attend the last 3 British grand Prix at Silverstone and it just gets better every year. The facilities are fantastic, with more and more being added. There are lots of bars, fast food stalls, merchandise stands and entertainment to keep you occupied while the track is empty. The food and drink is reasonably priced for any major sporting event, a pint will cost you roughly £4 and a meal will be around £6. The beauty of Silverstone is that you can bring your own, provided it is not in a glass bottle or container, you are welcome to bring it with you. The of track entertainment side of things has greatly improved over the last couple of years, this year Madness played on the Thursday night and there were other concerts on the Friday and Saturday evening. I love this place, its a petrol heads dream so I will always be slightly bias with my review but if you have any interest in speed, make sure you make at least 1 trip to Silverstone. I've booked for next year already and will be returning in August for the MotoGP

    Recently went to Silverstone circuit for the British Grand Prix. It was my 1st ever time attending…read morean F1 race. We stayed the whole weekend, staying in the campsite next door. (This review will partly be about the F1 race (and other motorsport) and the different activities/events etc associated with the Formula 1). The food options in Silverstone during the weekend were pretty much as you may expect - burgers, pizzas etc - so it was not the most healthy weekend! Some of the food was actually decent, some not as much. For example, had a burger from one place and it was really tasty -even if it was from a restaurant - never mind a van. But then a burger from another place was not good. One problem with Silverstone, but hard to do much about it, is that its a pretty flight area - so some of the public access places where people stand/sit to watch, you don't get the best view. As well as the F1 race (and the qualifying and practices), you can see the GP2 and GP3 series and also the Porsche Cup. With the F1 cars being a bit quieter nowadays, I didn't need to earplugs I bought. (Although I did need to just when stood in a particular place watching the GP2 qualifying). As well as the motorsport to watch, there is the F1 Village area with the big stage with different music acts on different days and also the Drivers Forum where drivers turn up and see the fans, answer questions, sign autographs etc. Also, the Typhoon Air Display was very impressive. As was the Red Arrow display - although not as good as the Typhoon - also, because of where we were stood (near podium), most of the display of the Red Arrows was behind the main new pit building - so didn't so much of it!

    This year was my second Derby Day spent on The Hill in the middle of Epsom Racecourse. It has to be…read morethe best free family fun day you can get, all for the price of a train ticket down to the course (we actually went down for a birthday so the daytime celebrations continued well into the early morning in Sutton)! I watched every single race, and there's nothing more fun than choosing a horse in the race guide and standing up with the rest of the crowd to cheer it on. My bets are only virtual, my cousin put down £14 and got back £5.80, but I prefer to spend my money in the rows of markets with fresh food, clothes, and other bits and pieces. You can get the usual greasy fun fair food, but we took our own picnic, including picnic blankets and sun shade tents - yeah we actually got a bit of a tan despite the few black menacing clouds! There are lots of rides within the racecourse, although the bigger ones are set up on the outside, and there's a huge music stage as well as karaoke performers throughout the market. The one thing I don't like is at the end of the day when everyone leaves the place looking like a pigsty, I mean c'mon the only reason they employ rubbish collectors is because the public are lazy and uncaring. It doesn't take 30 seconds to carry your rubbish bags to the big skips they have there. Just bin it!

    I suppose if you are a race goer you would have this event on your annual event diary…read more If you are not then you might be tempted to put it under "One to avoid"? Friday is Oaks Day known as "Ladies Day" that does not compete with Ascot but try's hard too make a show with various popular music groups coming down later in the month. Of course The Derby now held on Saturday afternoon is the main Hullabaloo, when traffic helicopters and the entire populous appears to come ,well not everyone, not me now, why , well I prefer to watch the telly in the safety and comfort of chez moi!!
