Overview

My son is on crutches and often uses a wheelchair (manual). I was a bit apprehensive about taking him to the British GP at Silverstone but his accessibility requirements were very well met. Parking was very simple. So long as you had a disabled badge and a disable pass you waved on into your car park. For us this was right next to the disabled access gate. From here you can get an accessibility bus which can take you all round the circuit - you just need to ask one of the "Racemakers" and the organise a pick up and drop off where you want. This was really useful. We had tickets for an accessible stand. We had seats but there was a lot of room at the front for wheelchair users. There was a ramp up into the stand. For toilets I recommend you get a RADAR key as these toilets are right next to the accessible stands. Very useful again. One thing I would advise is getting a motor for your wheelchair or hire one of the scooters. Its a big circuit so once inside if you want to move around it just makes life a lot easier. I didn't have either but to be honest lots and lots of people offered to help me push my sons wheelchair around when I was struggling a bit. The real heroes for me were the race makers that were everywhere. They were all amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble. We got to know the two in our stand really well. They were very very friendly and super approachable. (See photo). Thank you guys you were fabulous.
