Circuit Parking Prices:
Three Day £60
Sunday, Race Day £45 
Saturday Qualifying £20
Friday Practice £12.50

Car park passes are available subject to availability. You may purchase as many parking passes as you have tickets eg if you order 4 tickets you may order 4 parking passes.

Please note failure to display a valid pass will result in a civil parking notice. Camping is not permitted in any of the car parks.

If you prefer to travel by motorbike, parking will be provided free of charge.

As in past years, there will be taxi and private hire vehicle dropping off and pick-up points on Brackley Road, Silverstone.

There have been complaints of over-charging in the past, and as a result, the council's licensing officers have had a meeting with local private hire operators and taxi drivers. Private hire fares are not set by the local authority. However, customers should not expect to pay more than about £35 for a journey from Silverstone to Banbury, or Northampton, or Milton Keynes. Notices will be displayed in and around Silverstone & Whittlebury.

This year a number of South Northamptonshire Council licensed taxis will be working in the area. These vehicles will have a unique licence plate (GP01, GP37, etc) and will display a yellow 'TAXI' sign in the front windscreen. They will be the only vehicles allowed to pick up passengers without having been pre-booked. If you see any others vehicles in the area, they are either illegally plying for hire or waiting for a customer who has pre-booked a journey. You should not get into a taxi or private hire vehicle without having pre-booked it as the driver will be uninsured and you may be at risk.
