Day 20 - Glasgow to Silverstone

A transport stage in a world rally is the part of the race where drivers travel from one competitive stage to another. These stages are not timed and do not count towards the overall race time. They are essentially a way for drivers to get from one point to another on public roads. Today, we had a transport stage on our trip, where the objective was to get from Glasgow to Silverstone for the British Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The drive was almost 650 kilometres and so we needed to stay on the major roads, such motorways and A roads. We did make a few stops along the way including lunch at York. But, we had remained focused on getting to our destination.

Our accommodation for the next four nights is a little twin cabin on a paddock outside the front gate of the Silverstone race circuit. Called SuiteHuts@Silverstone, more than 150 huts are erected to house Formula 1 fans close to the track. For the privilege of being walking distance to the track, we get to sleep in a 6x4 hut, with shared bathrooms and showers. The weather is improving, so I am looking forward to a great weekend of racing.Read more
