The A43 and the approach to the circuit
You'll see signs for Silverstone off the M1 at junction 15A and off the M40 at junction 11 near Banbury, and nearly all the traffic ends up on the A43. While the meeting is on, some local lanes are shut to anyone who doesn't live there, and parts of the approach run on temporary layouts.
Without the event, you'd drive from central London in about ninety minutes; with it, allow three to four hours. Of the three days, race-day morning is the hardest, while practice on Friday is fairly civilised.
Staying the night in Towcester, Buckingham, Brackley or Milton Keynes cuts the distance, but you'll still queue, because the local roads join the same approach.
