    So we got the new pits and paddock complex up and running, looking very nice indeed.

    Was wondering how many of you guys that are going ?

    Im going again this year, really enjoyed cheering for Hamilton last year and everyone lept for joy as we saw Vettel trudle past right infront of us with a puncture !

    im going and cant wait!!! Went in 2008 when Lewis won, that was an incredible race proves his immense talent, not just race but many times during 2008 despite the stewards best attempts to stop him winning the championship!

    Rather go to Spa-Francorchamps, the fans arn't toxic over there like Silverstone.

    The fans give this country a bad name. Plus Spa is the greatest track in motorsport (aside from the Nordschleife), not puny little silverstone.

    I'm going, got tickets for the Village gold stand, all 3 days. Never had any trouble with toxic fans before at Silverstone or any of the GP's I've been to.

    Schumacher in his prime never got booed at Silverstone as much as Vettel and Alonso did last year. F1 fans at silverstone used to be petrolheads and F1geeks who just enjoyed a good race. Now it's just full of F1 part time pikies that can only read the sun newspaper showing off their ****ty tattoo's of wayne rooney and boo like it's a football match.

    Sorry but the sooner Lewis retires, the sooner they **** off back to whatever gypsy estate they come from.

    Well as an Alonso fan, I cant go as i'll probably get into some sort of argument/fight.
    I would hate to be in a race where fans only cheer one driver.

    I had general admission last year and I was in an area that seemed to have them all. It was great banter when the race was going one way or another. Was the same back in (2004?) so general admission must be where its at <ok>

    Never been sadly, always thought it to be quite expensive when compared to the likes of Spa.

    Spa's awesome, went in 2001 when England beat Germany 5-1. Now that was entertaining, seeing all the German's shouting "Shoomi" go quiet. Shame he went on to win the race. Fantastic track though, love it.

    Must get back out there soon, kids,work and wife have severely hampered my attendance since :(

    "Puny little Silverstone" ? One of the most challenging circuits of them all and you call it puny? Well, if it's a deliberate wind-up, for once I'm going to bite.

    In case you don't know, Eau Rouge has lost its challenge to F1 and whilst I'd not insult the Belgians by calling their once daunting section "puny", it is pale by comparison to the Maggotts/Becketts complex where an F1 car generates more lateral G force than at any other corner on any other circuit in the world. But you call it "puny"? Yeah, right&#8230;

    Clearly you have no idea.
    I wish I could strap you into one of the two-seaters and give you a lesson. Then again, perhaps not&#8230;

    tickets are very expensive. Still undecided about whether to go, and where the best seats are

    I agree that it is expensive Forza; too expensive in my opinion. But if you do go, the new Arena section is great viewing, allowing you to see loads of the circuit.

    Silverstone doesn't appeal to me. It's hideously over priced compared to some of the GP's.
