Make your British Grand Prix Hassle Free - Camp with intentsGP!

If you want an insight on what it's like camping with us, check out these articles written by Ben James from BadgerGP (the second biggest F1 blog website in the UK).

The campsite
We've confirmed we'll be using the Whittlebury Park campsite for the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone this year.
Penny from the campsite said:
"every year Red Bull stay with us and as well as the usual party shenanigans that come with having Red Bull as your guests it brings lots of other perks too. Last year we gave two of our campers breakfast with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel on the Sunday of the race. Pretty cool huh! In addition to this we also have a huge beer tent with live bands, some of the UK's major motorsport press staying with us, full English breakfast served in the atrium, an à la carte restaurant and a host of other things to make sure you're entertained when there's no action on the track."
Sounds pretty good to us!
