hmm, i thought we'd discussed this one relatively recently but maybe it's still in the f1 forum somewhere.
anyway.
for camping, i've stayed at windmill, which is next to the marshals campsite and as such is a superb location and pretty good value for money as well. if i remember rightly it's only about a tenner a night. litchlake opposite the old main entrance is also a well located site, with a small retail area and hot food on site too. it is next to the fairground though, and you need to turn up relatively early on a friday to get a good pitch, either near the road or away from the fairground if you want a bit of peace! there's some good sites in the village too but those all require a long walk which may or may not defeat the object of camping in the first place.
if you like creature comforts, there may still be places at the whittlebury hall site which isn't very far to walk from the circuit but tends to be much quieter, and with better and more frequently cleaned loos and showers.
ticket-wise... it depends if you prefer to have a seat, or you like to walk around the circuit and explore more. if you go to a lot of non-f1 motorsport you'll find it unusual to be stuck in one place, so you might prefer a general admission ticket. however, particularly on sunday you need to arrive relatively early to secure a good place for the race. it's better value if you just want to experience a grand prix though, particularly somewhere like silverstone which is pretty well suited to a general admission ticket. if you can't be bothered and just want to be able to watch the racing from a nice seat without having to put in a special effort, a grandstand is a good choice.
were there any grandstands you were looking at in particular?
