Here in the UK it changes year to year.  Some years the scalpers ask (and apparently get)
GBP200 a ticket.  Sometimes they can hardly give them away.  The main constraint here is
traffic - Silverstone is a pig to get to and worse to get away from.  They impose a mandatory
one-way system on the lane outside the sircuit that takes me 18 miles out of my way.

I drove past the circuit yesterday.  The A43 is being dualed but I cannot see them being ready
in time for the Grand Prix. See also
