I'm going to the British GP this sunday for the first time ever. On a good day it normally takes me around 1 hour to get to junction 15a (the Silverstone exit) from my house and, depending on what race is on, another 15 mins - 1/2 hour to get into the car park.
I know this is going to be a hell of a lot worse on Sunday, I'm thinking of leaving at 3am and am anticipating arriving about 2 hours later. Is this too optimistic? Is this too early? (we have seats)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Sal,
In all honesty, leave as early as possible........you can never judge traffic....
Have a an excellent time, I had to sell my tickets so as not to take away any money from Scooby repairs
(Very jealous) GO COULTHARD

If you time it for walking from Jct 15, plus an hour, you wont be far wrong
If it's wet take your wellies, mud glorious mud
Don't forget your earplugs, you will not believe the noise!
Enjoy it

Was watching the bike GP @ Donington on Eurosport Sunday and just as the 250 race started they reported that it was currently a 1.5hour trip from the M1 to the carpark - holy cow! Never underestimate the traffic
