Hi everyone,
I'm intending to purchase a three day ticket for this years GP at Silverstone but after spending the afternoon reading threads and looking at youtube I'm no closer to deciding which grandstand to watch the race from. I think I've managed to narrow the choice down to Abbey, Farm or Bridge - with Farm edging the lead on the assumption I'll be able to see cars braking for Abbey, negotiating the chicane and accelerating under the bridge... bit of everything as it were, plus the possibility of some spins/overtakes.
Can anyone whose sat at Farm grandstand confirm whether what I'm imagining matches the reality?
Would anyone recommend Bridge or Abbey over Farm because of something I may have missed? ie. wildly varying views from a stand depending on your seat...
Is there a big screen at Bridge, it's unclear from the circuit guide?
Don't really want to spend anymore than the £220 these tickets will cost but if anyone thinks it would be better spending the extra £30 for Club, Woodcote C or the Pit Straight I'd be keen to hear why.
It's my first Grand Prix, the last at Silverstone and it'll be my birthday to boot so I want to get it right. Any information, opinion or advice will be greatly appreciated!
