I may be able to attend the British GP at Silverstone this year and had some questions about the best view points.

I would prefer to get the cheaper grandstand seats that fall under the "Silver" category.

They are:
Farm
Hangar Straight
Stowe A

Unfortunately I could not find photos of the view from those vantage points.

The next up seats are the "Platinum" at:
Woodcote A
Woodcote B
Arena B

They cost 250 british pounds, which is quite a bit.

Do you guys have any advice or suggestions on where to sit?

Thanks

Based on the map on the Silverstone website, it looks like the Silver seats are crap and Arena B looks like a good option. Thoughts?

I've favoured Stowe for several seasons as you can view the most track from there. You can see the cars all the way from Hanger Straight, Stowe, Club and hopefully into the new Arena, although there has been some building work inside the track so not sure what impact that will have on the view.

Arena B seems the best choice of those listed now as you get a view of the arena (obviously) and also across to Becketts earlier in the lap.

i sat at Arena B for the GT1 world championship race, and it was very very good

Moto GP is this weekend. Talk to whoever goes there to see what they'll say.

I'm back from MotoGP weekend.
I'd say that Arena B is probably your best bet. I spent 2 hours trying to find a way into that grandstand and the inside section Friday morning, but with no signage and being blocked by fencing and dead ends, gave up.
I was at Becketts grandstand Saturday, and that was a very good vantage point ( where I would most likely choose to sit for future events). From there you got a giant screen and could see nearly all of the inside section - it did seem that the Arena A and B grandstands were also a very good vantage point.
I'd chosen the Club grandstand as usually there's a giant TV screen there and it's an exciting corner - the TV screen was situated in front of the Vale grandstand and it was blocked from our vision by a large advertising board and just too far away to see anything.
In the past I've always spent race day at Club but wouldn't do so again.

The stands in the Arena section have been shuffled up since then the GT races. So not quite as good, but still some of the best.

Best seats in the house now would have to be Becketts. You can see the track nearby and as the cars come back into the Arena section.
