British Grand Prix Cross-Country Shuttle ServiceAirfield to Circuit – Straight Across The Fields! Faster In, Faster Out The British Grand Prix returns to Silverstone Circuit for the next 17 years! In 2010 the battle of the Brits is going on at McLaren, with seven-times World Champion Michael Schumacher in hot pursuit for Mercedes GP. Make your day complete with hassle-free travel. Our shuttle service to the Circuit enables you to avoid the traffic and queues both on the way in and on the way out. Round off your day in comfort and style with our cross-country service that takes you to the Circuit and back fromTurweston Aerodrome, where the parking is free and plentiful and the service of a high standard.
A chauffeur-driven shuttle that lets you avoid the traffic queues going into and out of Silverstone Circuit during the weekend of the British Grand Prix. Turweston Aerodrome is located close to Silverstone Circuit but away from the A43 and the one-way system. If you want to beat the traffic queues when arriving and leaving the Circuit, and add the fun of an off-road trip to your day out, this is the route for you. Using our special directions you should be able to reach the airfield without getting caught in the worst of the traffic heading to the Circuit. Once you arrive here, we will take care of getting you to the Grand Prix. [Go to top] How Does It Work? We have a fleet of vehicles with drivers and an off-road cross country route from the airfield to the Circuit. The route goes across privately owned land and is used exclusively by Turweston Flight Centre. You can come to the airfield by road or by air, park your car or aircraft here and be chauffeured to Silverstone Circuit and collected again later. Once at the airfield you will be shown to a parking space and from there to our our reception area where you will be issued with a pass for the service. The pass entitles you to a return trip to and from the Circuit in one of our cross-country vehicles.You will then be shown to the departure point for the shuttle and as soon as a vehicle is available you can board it and depart for the Circuit. If you are driving to us we will issue you with special directions to the airfield to help you avoid the Grand Prix traffic. These are sent out when you purchase your ticket for the shuttle service. Pilots will need to observe the special joining and landing instructions in place for Sunday. These will be available nearer to the Grand Prix. [Go to top] Where Will I Be Dropped Off And Picked Up? Our Circuit drop-off point is at pedestrian gate 15 which is located at the south end of the Circuit close to Vale. Why Can’t You Take Me Right Into The Circuit? Gate 15 is a pedestrian entrance only – no vehicles are permitted access. We use this gate because it is the nearest available to the end of our cross-country route. If we were to go further down the road to a vehicular entrance we would get you caught in all the traffic you have just avoided by using our service! [Go to top] Why Can’t You Collect Me From Outside Gate 15? The shuttle service is designed to minimise queuing. After the Grand Prix the gate 15 area is extremely busy with people leaving the Circuit and walking back to their cars, representing a potential safety hazard. In addition, our vehicles get bogged down in the mass of people and can only move at a snail’s pace. We therefore collect from the top of the car park from where we can whisk you back to the airfield. [Go to top] What If I Need To Go To A Different Part Of The Circuit? Turweston Flight Centre runs a limited additional shuttle service inside the Circuit which can take you to your required destination and collect you again when you are ready to leave. Due to narrow availability this service must be booked in advance. It runs to a tight schedule so times must be adhered to in order to avoid delays. Please note that the security measures in place at the Circuit mean we will not be able to drop you off or pick you up right outside hospitality suites. [Go to top] What Times Are Available? The service operates by prior arrangement on Friday and Saturday and continuously from 6am to 6pm on Sunday. [Go to top] How Do I Book? You can book by emailing us your requirements or you can book by telephone – 01280 705400 (select option 2). [Go to top] What Does It Cost? Our 2010 price list can be viewed here. Please note all prices are for a journey to AND from the Circuit. [Go to top] Additional Information There is no further information at this time. Please check back regularly for updates.
