    Wheelchair access seems to be OK: About Silverstone - Accessibility at the Circuit
    I used to go watch the F1 tests at Silverstone, which sadly they don't do anymore. I remember on a few occasions there were people in wheelchairs in a special area at the front, and pleant of ramps everywhere. This is the 21st century after all.

    I saw an ad for weekend tickets for the Monaco GP, including hotel and a view from a balcony somewhere. "From 3000EUR per person".

    Indian GP is probably quite cheap.

    Its out in the sticks, so given the state of British public transport you probably will get to drive a car that day

    Mother a big GP fan. Got a big birthday next year - thinking it would be nice to treat her, but not sure about the practicalities - she can hobble a short distance on crutches, but realistically looking at wheelchair.

    Best place to watch a GP is Europe, and Spa is my favourite. Camping best option, as its a good crack out there

    I think its Belgian grandprix which is cheapest. But considering how expensive Monaco is, its still cheaper to go out there and watch a grand prix than Silverstone. But again, british grandprix gets sold out no matter what the cost is.
