Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
That’s my 2021 track days booked. Got a nice bonus so thought why the hell not. Works out cheaper than most other track days once you factor in hotel stay and petrol costs. So booked 3 days doing the full GP circuit. A bit of pre-season testing before Portimao and then some fun for the summer
3rd May, 27th July and 19th August
With their 20% off deal for Black Friday it’s not that far off in price from other tracks and I do love Silverstone. Bring on 2021!

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
Get it booked That's our logic as well, only an hour away, no hotel costs. It would be great as a first track, quite a few corners to learn, but nice and wide and forgiving!

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
Easy travel makes a big difference, I go to Snetterton a lot because it's only 45 minutes from mine, Silverstone is at least 2 hours, probably more.

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
Silverstone is my closest track (probably tied with Bedford, but Silverstone is easier to get to) but its 'kin expensive! On the flip side you are riding a 4 mile long full GP circuit and its 20 mins away. I even ride past it on the way to work so I could take the afternoon off....

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
It's expensive compared to Bedford.. but it's not Bedford....
It's like buying steak in Aldi and comparing it to steak from a good farm shop... They're both meat.... but that's where it ends.
Silverstone using black Friday is only fractionally more than Donny....Way less than Brands GP.

I haven't been to Bedford, it looks a bit shit, if I lived between them I'd pay the extra and go to Silverstone.

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
Funnily enough, Silverstone is one of my least favourite circuits. I just find it bland.

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
I get the impression from a few mate, including RP1 on here that Bedford is actually great fun.. but still, it's not Silverstone.Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 2:34 pm I haven't been to Bedford, it looks a bit shit, if I lived between them I'd pay the extra and go to Silverstone.

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
I'll have to give it a go, I would think travel time will be about 90 minutes, it's takes an hour to get from mine to Cambridge.weeksy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 2:37 pmI get the impression from a few mate, including RP1 on here that Bedford is actually great fun.. but still, it's not Silverstone.Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 2:34 pm I haven't been to Bedford, it looks a bit shit, if I lived between them I'd pay the extra and go to Silverstone.

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
Grand Prix circuit is the full 4 mile F1 track isn't it?
Tempted...tempted. Doing it on a Monday is a bit of a hassle, but then again it's only 15-20 mins from here

Re: Silverstone Black Friday deals for 2021
This might be a nice little lead in....although weather could still be dicey.

Would love to do Silverstone GP just 'cause I grew up watching F1 there and I've been loads of times to watch various race formats. I've even done a running race around the track. But I ain't ridden on track for >10 years and £295 is a bit spendy for a first time out!
