Outstanding Experience, Worth Every Penny!
We booked the Trophy Package with F1 Experiences for the 2026 British Grand Prix, including Thursday to Sunday accommodation at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Milton Keynes and coach transfers to and from Silverstone. From start to finish, the entire trip was exceptionally well organised, and I honestly couldn’t fault the team. We actually arrived on the Wednesday and booked an extra night’s stay so we could make the most of Thursday, as hotel rooms aren’t available until after 3pm on arrival day. A couple of days before travelling, we received our itinerary showing our Thursday coach departure at 4:40pm for the Trophy Experience and F1 Experiences Live event. We wanted to spend the whole day at Silverstone, so I contacted the team. Without any hesitation they arranged for us to travel on an earlier 11:00am coach instead. Nothing seemed too much trouble. One piece of advice for anyone booking this package: don’t worry too much about the published coach times. Although return departures are scheduled for around 45–60 minutes after the final track action, if you’ve had enough for the day simply head back to the F1 Experiences meeting point. Their staff are everywhere, and as soon as a coach fills up, it leaves. After a full day at the circuit this was brilliant, as we were back at the hotel much earlier instead of waiting another couple of hours. Journey time to Silverstone was around 35 minutes, with the return taking about an hour because several hotels are served. The Thursday evening F1 Experiences Live event was fantastic. After meeting inside the circuit, we walked to an exclusive hospitality area with a stage, deckchairs, complimentary food and drinks, and displays of both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championship trophies, along with the Pirelli Pole Position tyre. Many people rushed straight into the photo queues, but there’s really no need—they’re available all evening. We relaxed with food and drinks while enjoying interviews hosted on stage with Oliver Bearman and Martin Brundle. It was fascinating listening to both of them. Once the interviews finished, there were virtually no queues for photos before we boarded the open-back lorries for the circuit tour. These run throughout the evening until around 8:30pm, so you can even go round more than once if you wish. Seeing Silverstone from the circuit itself was an unforgettable experience. The part that impressed me most, however, was the F1 Experiences staff themselves. While waiting at the meeting point, one member of staff noticed I was limping and asked if I was alright. I explained that I was recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and was really struggling after all the walking. Without me even asking, they arranged for an F1 paddock vehicle to collect my family and me, drive us to the event, and then return us close to the circuit exit afterwards. Everyone else walked, but they genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I could still enjoy every part of the experience. That level of customer care says everything about the company. Our package also included three days in Hamilton Straight A Grandstand, which I would highly recommend. Sitting opposite the starting grid meant we could watch the teams preparing the cars, see the drivers getting into their cars before the race, witness all the pre-race atmosphere, and enjoy a fantastic view of the finish line. Our seats lined up almost perfectly with the back of the grid and also gave us an excellent view of the podium celebrations afterwards. Overall, this was one of the best sporting experiences I’ve ever had. Every member of the F1 Experiences team was friendly, professional and genuinely wanted everyone to have the best possible weekend. Their organisation, flexibility and customer service were outstanding, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. If you’re considering an F1 Experiences package, I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. Thank you to everyone at F1 Experiences for making our British Grand Prix weekend so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!
