 :-? I believe they have some crazy (high speed) one way system in operation; traffic has to line up and all make a move at the same time......and then, it`s a free for all as to who gets to the car park first.
.....Not to mention the foreign idiots in souped up exotica; I`d avoid the place if I were you! ;D

Mind-you if you need to fill-up or change a wheel there`s always a bunch of ex-Kwik-fit glitterati (high on speed), waiting to ply-you with new rubber in record time.

Traffic yesterday afternoon - 9m tailbacks.  I suspect the road closures caught a lot of people out, despite the temp signs, and the matrix signs on motorway. Muppets.

Generally, getting in an out of the circuit isn't back, as they close a43 under the silverstone bridge, and make a43 one way, so 4 lanes of traffic to get in from both directions.  Then they reverse one way so 4 lanes each way to get out.

Generally works well, unless you are a local trying to get beyond silverstone  :(
