2024 British GP

[bball7754]

I’m considering going to the 2024 British GP to celebrate my 70th birthday (which falls on the July 7 race day).
 

I’ve started exploring companies that have packages of accommodations, transport, and tickets, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

Hi Steve:

 

Perfect timing as several of us (Lotus/Caterham Texas folks) are contemplating a trip early July to take in a number of like minded events. Several have booked to take in F1 Silverstone 7/5-7 followed by Goodwood FOS the next weekend 7/11-14, along with a number of other must do / see stops, Hethel for Group Lotus and Classic Team Lotus, and The Bird in Hand Pub / Restaurant, Dartford for Caterham Cars, Brooklands Museum, etc. etc. As for organized tours / packages, a number of years ago I took an incredible Classic Team Lotus themed group tour (all inclusive airport pickup to drop off) taking in most of the above and a number of other private car collections, restoration / race shops, and estates, not generally available or open to the public. I'll have to inquiry if they are still offered.  There are many F1 oriented commercial tour package companies, not necessarily Lotus/Caterham focused, I'm sure can provide a great package although I have no specific experience with them. But with a little bit of work and input from others, you can put together your own trip. I'm sure Croc and others can offer many more recommendations and local contacts. Feel free to message or contact me off list and I'd be glad to share what I've learned and experienced. 

 

FWIW Silverstone F1 tickets are already running low or sold out for many selections. Goodwood FOS tickets went on sale to the general public a couple weeks ago and they will run low or sell out of the ideal days / packages etc. Silverstone F1 and Goodwood FOS are not to be missed on any UK trip if you have never been.  

 

Cheers!
