BOOKING FORM

Allocated Space and Access Times

Pre-booked multicar preparers will be allocated a plot in the relevant paddock or support paddock on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd August under the direction of the Paddock Manager and their teams.

Access for multicar preparer set up will be during the following hours:

  • Wednesday 21st August: 11:00 – 20:00
  • Thursday 22nd August: 07:30 – 20:00

Arrival Instructions

On arrival at the circuit multicar preparers will be asked to form an orderly queue in Car Park 50A before being escorted to the relevant paddock area. Please note that pit garages are not available until 19:00 on Wednesday 21st August.

Accreditation

For access to the venue, you will be sent your tickets via an app in advance of arriving. The tickets will allow you access every day, Wednesday through to Sunday. TEAM wristbands are still required for access to race admin, the pit lanes and the competitor campsite but do not provide access to the venue. If you are arriving before any of the competitors whose cars you are preparing, then they will need to have sent you your tickets beforehand or you won’t be able to enter the venue. The TEAM wristbands can be collected once you are inside the venue.

Any team mechanics arriving without a ticket, including on set up days, will be able to purchase one at Customer Corner before being allowed access to the site.

As usual, vehicle passes will be issued on arrival and are limited to the space available in each paddock and support paddock area. Pre-booking does not guarantee a space. Multicar preparers will be directed to arrive and queue up in Car Park 50A via Entrance 10 off the Dadford Road (see map). From there each preparer will be escorted from 12:00 (midday) onwards on Wednesday by the Silverstone Festival Paddock Management Team to either the National or International Paddock. Transporters will be designated a space in the relevant paddock or support paddock and an “officially parked” pass will be issued. All trailers, transporters and other trucks not in use during the weekend must be parked in Competitor Trailer Parking. Please note, motorhomes are not permitted in either paddock.
