How bad is the traffic queue to get it? Does it take 3 hours to get in or do they manage the traffic reasonably?You can drive direct

It will be busy leaving, but it’s better now than it used to be.Haven't heard any horror stories about getting in but getting out might be a bigger problem. My stepbrother is taking my stepmum to watch the race and they're concerned about getting out afterwards in the car.

It’s depending on where you are coming from - Sixfields is good for M1 and East - Brackley ( Turweston ) - good for M40 and WestYes, getting out is often a bigger pain.
Any preference for the park and ride between Sixfields and Turweston?

Sixfields is the rugby stadium in Northampton- about 20 miles away , Turwestom Airfield at least half that maybe lessAre both the same distance from the track? Where is Sixfields (Maps app doesn’t know![]()

I heard A34 was closed did it cause any issues?Just to report. Ended up going via Sixfields - best decision ever. Easy to get to for us, no queue to park. Transfer to Silverstone took 55m, which wasn’t too bad considering. Arrived to gate 1 by Luffiled. Took about 15min to get in at 9.45am.
Ended up going to Vale as they allowed access to the podium only from that area. Was busy but still enough spots to squeeze in close to the barriers.
On the way back, Sixfields buses had the shortest queue, others had a million more people queuing.The transfer back took 30min.
Thank you for all recommendations above!
They do Pirelli hot laps before the race and the drivers were really pushing it judging by the amount of screeching noise and tyre smokeI can actually say that I've raced at Silverstone. Yeah....technically the truth. Back in my running days (High Wycombe, early 80's) we went up and I think I ran two races on the same day on the track. Somewhat slower than the race cars.
