See 5 grandstand views of Silverstone for the F1 British Grand Prix

If you are attending the F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and you have a roving ticket for the weekend, you may be wondering which views are the best.

If you purchase a Grandstands ticket for race day, it includes roving access for Friday and Saturday. There is also a Roving Grandstands ticket option for those two days. Unlike General Admission, roving allows you to check out the various grandstands for practice and qualifying.

Kick The Concrete attended the 2024 British Grand Prix with tickets to Becketts Grandstand for race day. We had roving access the other two days, so we made it a point to experience several views of the historic track.

With 75 competitions held and counting, the British Grand Prix is one of the longest-standing races on the Formula 1 calendar. Silverstone is a beloved circuit that started as a base for the Royal Air Force and has since seen the likes of Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher on the top of the podium.

Last year, we saw Lewis Hamilton make history by setting the record for most wins at a single race by a driver — his ninth British Grand Prix victory. This season, Lando Norris and George Russell will compete in hopes of joining their fellow British driver by winning their home race, which always has a chance of rain.

This is not an all-inclusive list, but here is what the action looks like from the five grandstands we experienced around Silverstone:

Luffield view at Silverstone

Luffield is a great place to start your journey at Silverstone because it is just inside Gate 1. You get to see the winding road of Brooklands that leads into Luffield. Then watch the cars speed away into Woodcote. Luffield is covered.

Becketts view at Silverstone

Becketts has perhaps the best view around Silverstone if you want to see several elements of racing action. You can see multiple curves right in front of you, including the famous Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel sequence, which drivers approach at 300 km/h (186 mph), making it the fastest part of the circuit. You can also see The Loop hairpin across the track. Becketts is covered.

Stowe view at Silverstone

Stowe, which is uncovered, is at Turn 15 and heads toward the home stretch of the Silverstone circuit. While Lewis Hamilton was honored in 2020 with the start/finish stretch being named Hamilton Straight, fellow British driver Lando Norris will make his own mark on the track for the 2025 British Grand Prix. Stowe was renamed Landostand and will be bright yellow for his fans to rally together to cheer on the McLaren driver. There will be special appearances from Norris and giveaways throughout the weekend. The 10,000 tickets reportedly sold out in less than two hours. Regardless of who you root for, Stowe is a decent view to see some speed. It follows Hangar Straight, where the drivers can clock 325 km/h (202 mph).

Vale view at Silverstone

Vale is a nice view of Silverstone. The drivers are nearing completion of the circuit out of Stowe and leading into the final curves of Vale and Club Corner before the finish line. You can also see the entry to the pit lane from here and see and hear the bigwigs partying in their VIP sections, which is kind of fun — or annoying. Vale is uncovered.

Club Corner view at Silverstone

Club Corner, which is covered, is a great view for racing action and to see the start/finish line without being right on Hamilton Straight. It is the last turn of the race and always promises thrills.
