I am hoping it won't be too bad. I also hope it is not A43 entry only like GP weekend.

Was there last weekend for the Vintage Sports Car Club meet and everything was as easy as pie save for a sticky bit on the first part of the A43 north from Junc 10.

Thanks for the advice guys... So is the parking through the main gate or in fields opposite then a short walk ? I will coming from Buckingham/Stowe route.

My guess given the number attending that you may have a chance through the main gates unless you are turning up very late then maybe overflow will be across the road

Just turn up early and you should be fine. Plenty of hard standing parking in the main car park. Getting out at the end of the day is likely to be more painful.

Parking today was fine, loads of space, no queues. Approach from Stowe via Dadford no issue. Take a right at the first Silverstone roundabout for public parking.
