The A43 and the approach to the circuit
Silverstone is signed from the M1 at junction 15A and from the M40 at junction 11 near Banbury, with the A43 carrying almost all of it. Traffic management closes some local lanes to non-residents and runs temporary layouts on parts of the approach during the meeting.
From central London the drive is around ninety minutes without event traffic and three to four hours with it. Race-day mornings are the worst of the three days; practice on the Friday is comparatively civil.
Overnight stays in Towcester, Buckingham, Brackley or Milton Keynes shorten the drive but not the queue, since local roads feed into the same approach.
