Budget Planner – 2020 British Grand Prix

Planning a trip to Silverstone for the 2020 British Grand Prix on July 17-19? Read our budget planner to help plan the cost of your trip.

Silverstone is one of F1’s most expensive destinations. The cost of race tickets, accommodation, getting around and trackside spending are all high in Britain. Camping next to the track is best for fans on a budget, as you’ll cut out daily travel costs. One advantage for international fans is that the British pound has fallen against most major currencies since Brexit, making the trip to Silverstone a little more affordable.
