When I first started going to The British Grand Prix in the late 70's we used to camp there, generally arriving the night before the F1 teams turned up. So, our first day would be spent watching the teams arrive & un-load the trucks & set up etc. Then there would be two days of free practice (for the F1 teams at least), followed by a day of timed practice sessions for all of the race meeting's races, finally came the big day when they hold the actual F1 race. So for me, the actual race itself was always just a small part of the Grand Prix to me
