Next Silverstone F1 Test?

[graves]

Does anyone have any dates for the next big F1 test at Silverstone? I know it will be a while due to the testing ban, but I'm interested in going to the next.

There was testing today...

Most, if not all, are indeed free. Here are a couple of threads about them: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=49599

A bit more digging and I found the thread relating to the biggest test they have there each year. The June one before the GP: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=54335

They just let you. Go to Silverstone, park your car and walk in. They even give you a 'ticket' (normally an old unused previous event one) and all for nothing. I think the ticket is just a legal thing that has the standard disclaimers.

They normally have he area from the complex to Copse open for you to wander round. There will be a few burger vans etc.. around for refreshments and it is a very enjoyable relaxing day.

There are no guarantees of who and how much they will run and it depends on the weather and red flags, but at the big tests you normally get to see a lot of laps by a lot of people.

I don't have any decent pictures handy, but try this one which stopped the running for a while.

You'll see more running than at the practice during a GP weekend, especially now we have these rules. No single engines for a test day!
