Great story thank you keep up the good work !

Living in the middle of the U.S. I could have a ten day vacation in Washington DC at a nice hotel within walking distance of all the museums, monuments etc. Have nice meals daily as I could spend going to COTA staying at a budget motel 20 miles from the track eating food at the Track for the weekend. About $5K . The price for the former is about the same if you bring a friend. The price for the race is per person.

Better than paying almost $200 to get general admission tickets to Canadian GP just to have a black mesh sheet put in front of you to reduce visibility.

When the IIS isn’t running I am broadcasting this for VOR. Not a bad start to your IndyCar oval career. We’ll follow your progress throughout the season.

As huge Motorsport fan I still don't understand why even should I attend at track? I don't want to, or need to socialise. What I want is to watch races, in full length. And I can't do that even at small american short track, as I don't have an eagle eye sight. So, there is literally no point to attend races in person and definitely better and convenient to watch it on my telly, or internet. I don't understand you, and probably will never do.

Welcome to the brexit sir.. Don't mention brexit? Austerity, Inflation, Opportunistic Capitalism, Virus, B??X?T

You expect net zero lunatics Labour to subsidize F1? They’re more likely to ban it. Vote Reform.

£59 for a grandstand seat at the Formula E finale and £47 for the entire weekend of British Superbikes at Cadwell Park will do me this year. Would absolutely have loved to go to Silverstone and I’m still yet to ever go to an F1 race but with the prices as they are it’s just not viable at all unfortunately.

It's obvious you didn't see the film. You spent all this time saying the sky is blue. Miles had to wait for the other cars to catch up. The lead car past him for the finish because he was ordered to wait for them to get the photo finish of 3 Fords at the line. He was ordered to slow down for the company & when he did, they recogized a slower driver as the winner.

Brisca at Hednesford? Have you ever been? They call some of them F1, but they aren't your dainty little plastic cars. Reverse grids, contact allowed, and big V8's ... fantastic Its a shame how many tracks they have lost, could be worth a video.

What's with the halo?

Not bad for a rookie, Officer Millward. See you at Road America 🙂

I went to Silverstone 2014,15,16 and 22. I’d love to go again but anything over £350 for the weekend isn’t worth it. Planning to go to Hungary next year where it’s cheaper to buy flights, tickets and hotel for the same price as a seat at Silverstone

The black was due to tyre wear. Adjust the bars during the run will solve that.

F1 is owned by Americans. Why do you want the UK Government to subsidize their business?

Looking at the last few races, it is very possible that a british driver might win the british GP, so this is absolutely not the reason.

First oval, top 15, in a league. That's quality. Really consistent pace too. Slightly higher line to save a little tyre scrub? Plus a couple of those laps was that odd black flag early.

These ridiculous prices are a result of F1s broken bussiness model. The price that F1 charges the circuits is criminal. It is at the point where unless you have oil money or massive government support it becomes impossible for circuits to be able to afford to hold a race without making ticket prices to expencive for the average person. Within the next 5 to 10 years you will seen most European races like Silverstone and Spa cease to exist. As contracts come up for renewal these circuits will be priced out and disappear. F1 1 is all about money now. The competition and fans are secondary . The ticket prices prove that they don't care about the fans and the troubles Andretti is having getting into F1 show that they are not interested in the sport itself growing with increased competition. I rarely watch the sport any more , the rules now make it near impossible for a team to catchup with development if they make a mistake with a new set of rules. It's 3 or more years before you can fix things at the next rule change. The actual lack of testing to bring the cost down is actually leading to domination by 1 team or another. It's helping to kill the sport. Give me the good old days of the 70s, 80s and 90s over the piss poor gimmick laced crap that they are trying to pass as entertainment today. If you want real racing go watch the WEC and sports car racing. You can watch it on UA-cam for free.

Coming from perth(aust) , tickets are cheaper for silverstone than melboure & the flights are about the same price due to price gouging by Qantas. 700pounds for a 3day ticket in hamilton grandstand & 1900 pounda for the flight.

Some of the best road racers struggle on ovals don’t get discouraged just keep practicing

Whether a Dutchman or a Deutschemann makes no difference to me, the venue has priced me out of its market...

I don't see why the top drivers should have to pay more for their renewal. If you had an excelklent season why would they want to try and potentially push you out of the sport? If anything it sounds like it gives a weird incentive for smaller teams to try and game the system and not earn as many points as they actually deserve.

From Perth, Australia. This year it cost me $2200 for return flights to Melbourne. $500 for a weekend pass. Then $1400 for a week in a hotel. All in all, it cost me a little over $5000 (£2400) to see my own country’s f1 race. I hope that makes you feel better.

I'm more of a bike fan myself, I'm expecting MotoGP prices to start going up from next year now Liberty are involved. But I'm going World Superbikes next month at Donington. A adult ticket cost me £60.... Yes just £60 for the whole three days. Ok at early bird prices but still the best value for money by a country mile for a world championship series that comes to the UK. That gets you full access around the paddock etc. you don't get that with MotoGP or F1.

Yeah they thought thè lotus would struggle to score a point

Brexit

British GT and Touring cars are my go-to championships when it comes to being trackside. Much more access around the paddock and circuit plus incredible racing, all for a fraction of an F1 ticket.

I can't stand max or red bull, but blaming them is ridicolous. The prices are crazy, I wanted to go this year, but a 3 day pass or even just race day is way too much. Spa, Monza, and Hungary are all much cheaper even with flights and travel they offer far better deals.

Stopped going years ago, piss running down the public walkways was the final straw. The facilities were third world at best disgusting.

In 2010 when I was a 20-year-old student I bought myself and my dad a ticket to the British Grand Prix for his birthday. Now as a 34-year-old adult with a "proper job" the cost of just going myself is way beyond what I would consider justifiable.

Yanks own it profit first, content a secondary thought.

Sports and entertainment have become a huge corporate cash cow over the past 25 years. this is the same scenario as a dad who wants to take his kids to an NHL, NBA game or a concert. It seems fair to have super expensive tickets in the posh sections for folks who can afford it, or just get off on "being there". at the same time there really should still be "cheap seats" for the average family. I say the promoters should continue to raise prices for certain sections, so they can afford to sell reasonably priced tickets to the average punter.

He did the thing 😊

When I went to my first British GP IN 1968 the pre booked ticket was 1£ & I passed it back over the fence twice to my 2 friends.

Good vid

Went to Silverstone in 2012. Swore I'd never go back. Track aside the place is a shit hole.

When I lived in the UK in 2006, my team leader would work at the BGP so he could afford going. He also has the last name Hill. I moved to Australia from South Africa last few weeks, so hopefully I'll get to go to the Melbourne race next year

F1 is doing a mid 90s Nascar now. It's drawn in casual plastic flash fans, and they are changing the experience to match. Again the American influence are deeply concerning. Problem is 3/4 years these folks will be away again and fans will be left struggling to enjoy any of it. F1 will be left with even fewer fans who can enjoy the sport, the price of F1 merch never mind attending a race is beyond me now. Greed and mindset is killing the sport and the fans williness to look past these issues

Being from America, I obviously won't be able to get to Silverstone, probably ever. One of my biggest dreams is to some day make it to Good Wood, any of them. That said, we're kind of having the same thing happening here, not only with F1, I might be able to afford to go to COTA, but living in Georgia, Texas is quite a haul and we don't get anywhere near as much PTO as the same class of European person gets, so trying to balance time with the family and dream trips, that none of my family are interested in, well you know what's going to win. Anyway I do enjoy going to my local dirt tracks and watching the late models and sprint cars turn left. I've also competed in some of the lower classes, so again, they're a dream trip, that's more accessible. The problem is, much like you are describing, the price gouging is off the chain. Last year I took my wife to see the "Dirt Track World Championship" at Eldora speedway. It was the last race of the Lucas Oil Late Model series and it decided the championship, even though RTJ had led the series all year. It was a little under 1000mi from my house. I rented an RV, paid for a camping spot, paid for gas and food up and back, food for the 4 days we were there and then I had to pay for the tickets to the event. Because it was Eldora, there was already a premium on the tickets, add in that it was Lucas and the last and deciding race of the year and I paid over $500 for 2 tickets for 3 days of racing. All totaled I was in for over $2k. I know that might not be a lot when you compare it to other series, but a normal ticket costs between $20-40/night of racing, depending on if you want to get into the pits or not. The worst part was that it rained the entire time and we only got to see 1/4 of one day of racing. On the night the final was supposed to happen, they ran 2 heat races and cancelled the event. When I went to look for a person to ask about rain tickets or a refund, every series official had long since left. There was no one to talk to about anything. I did find one guy wearing a Lucas vest and he told me, in so few words, to go screw myself. We had to leave that night, due to work on Monday and an almost 1000mi drive home. They ended up running "all" of the races (it was VERY condensed) on the following day, our travel day, to empty grandstands. I watched the event on Monday and they only showed the seating areas once because it was so empty. I got an email from Lucas later that week stating that because they ran the race Sunday, they considered it done and I would only get a voucher for Thursday's racing. So basically a big screw you. I really don't understand how these promoters think that hard working people, who are the ones that fill out most of the crowds at any series are going to keep paying these high prices, get screwed over if things go wrong (which I know they can't control the rain, but they can control how they respond to unforseen events) and keep coming back. I for one will never go back to that track and have a hard time wanting to go back to watch the series. It all just puts a foul taste in your mouth.

Here in Brazil, the general admission is something in 800 pounds, 3500 BRL, even more expensive, F1 has something to that.

When the USGP was at Indy, I could do Saturday and Sunday for about $150. Most of that was gas, from driving 400 miles total, and parking. General admission tickets were $20-$25. My daughters went to see Taylor Swift in Cincinnati. My wife spent $1200 for two tickets.

lol for that price i can fuel my car for a half year.... at least they did not blame the CO2 emisions :D

I read an article in Autosport magazine about 15 years ago. And even then they stated a fan could travel to most European races including Monaco for less than a visit to Silverstone. Typical UK rip off central.

Spent a night in the hotel for work with a balcony overlooking the finish line. It was January though and the only thing I saw on circuit all day was a Mercedes Sprinter van. Found the place soulless and sterile. Did get to drive out to The Wing though (which again inside is soulless and sterile). Perhaps the place comes alive when the cars are there or perhaps its just another venue like the new Wembley where its all been designed by accountants to maximise revenue.

Liberty are ruining F1, tickets are a rip off also all home driver's do well in their own GP this sport is looking more and more like a controlled distraction every week. Good videos 👍

silverstone lacks soul..

Going to Silverstone for MotoGP this year 115 pound for a premium grandstand ticket

I have a Scalextric that i set up occasionally, there's always that.

I did some costing the other year and it was cheaper to fly to Barcelona, Milan or Budapest for a F1 race than it was to drive to Silverstone. Better weather too.

I paid a similar amount of money for a 5 day holiday in Prague and a ticket to a Rammstein concert. The concert ticket was about £80, and if you see the scale of the stage etc. it is good value. Over £500 for a weekend is crazy but then F1 is run by a price gouging company that is dead set on squeezing every last penny out of customers.
