Ive got a lot to spend money over the next couple of years, wedding, house and most importantly i have a MK5 to modify :evilgrin:

So i was wondering where is the best place to go and watch it that is affordable, as im assuming the tickets aren't the same price everywhere? Or shall i just stick to silverstone and do it in a few years time instead.

Kalpsn2000:
I'm sure Silverstone would come out cheaper after you factor in the travelling costs for the other locations.

Although that's an assumption as I've not done any research :ashamed:

I've done UK, Monza, Barcelona, Monaco and France.

Not been for a few years, but if you manage to get easy jet cheap flights, share accomodation and car hire with a few mates i found you could do monza for less than the cost of a good granstant ticket for silverstone.  Reason:  silverstone you NEED grandstand tickets in order to be able to see anything, where at Monza a "general entry" ticket is all you need - there are lots of great free viewing areas.

If you're smart about it you could also do Monaco pretty cheaply - share a car with some mates, kip in a tent somewhere in france and train-in to monte carlo for the race.  Would certainly be more fun that northampton!

Looking to do Spa this year with my dad and brother.

Tickets about @£300 each for grandstands
Euro tunnel: @£100 return
Hotels: @£40 a night (Etap, Belgium equivalant of Travelodge)
Petrol: couple of tanks (£140ish)
Food: £

But then spotted Nurbergring is very close, love to combine the two  :driver:

It all depends what you class as affordable,you can watch at silverstone for 145 quid which I have done,its okay but you have to watch from anywhere you find a space.
We went in a stand last year and also camped  :confused: I told everyone I'll never go again.
I looked at Valencia they do a stand seat for 45 quid but the flights and hotel factored in it might be too much.
