The Silverstone Club Corner grandstands give arguably the best view of any seating area at the whole Grand Prix circuit.
But of the three Club grandstands, only one has the optimal view of some great overtaking spots, the start / finish line, the pitlane and the podium.
This article provides everything you need to know about Club Corner including photos and videos of the view, seating plans, tips on the best place to sit and the nearest entrances and car parks.

is Club corner a good place to sit at Silverstone?
Club grandstand is arguably the best place to sit at Silverstone. It has views of the final technical section of the Grand Prix track, Vale and Club corners. Additionally, if you sit in Club C you can also see all of the Hamilton Straight (the start / finish straight), the whole pitlane and the podium at the end of the Silverstone Wing building.
Vale corner and Club corner always see a lot of overtaking action. In fact this is the very place Lewis Hamilton did his double overtake on Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez in the 2022 British Grand Prix.
Club grandstand is split in to three sections – Club A, B and C. Club A is a separate grandstand, Club B and C are part of the same stand which is split about 2/3rds of the way along for ticket and seat numbering purposes.
Read on further to see why Club C is my personal choice for the best place to sit. No other grandstand or seating area at Silverstone has the same coverage of such a large section of track, plus start / finish line, pitlane and podium.
For those camping at Silverstone some of the closest campsites to Club corner include the Golf Club, Woodlands and Dadford Road campsite.
are there big TV screens at Club corner?
There are two large screens opposite to the Club grandstands. These are positioned on the right hand side of the circuit at Vale corner. The two screens are angled slightly differently. People sat in Club C will have a better view of the left hand screen, whereas those sat in Club A will probably be able to see the right hand screen more easily.
Those sat at the very left hand end of Club C (nearest the start straight) may also be able to see one of the screens attached to the pitlane building.
The images below first show the view of the screens from Club C, and then from Club A.
is Club grandstand covered?
Club Corner A grandstand is not covered, it is completely open to the elements.
Club Corner B and C grandstands are covered. They have a roof over the top of them, plus there is a small visor at the front that drops down a couple of feet to provide extra protection for those seated lower down. The sides of the grandstands are not covered, so if you are sat on the end you might get wet but you will have an amazing, unobstructed view.
Club A grandstand
where is Club A grandstand at Silverstone?
Club A grandstand at Silverstone in on the outside of the circuit (left-hand side) right on the exit of Vale corner. Of the three Club grandstands, it is the one closest to Vale corner and furthest from Hamilton Straight.
It is directly adjacent to Club B grandstand (on the left of Club A as you look at the track).
Club A grandstand is North-East facing so you will pretty much have the sun behind you most of the day.
view from Club A grandstand
Because of its location you get an amazing, close up view of the action coming in to the tight left-right corners of Vale. And this is always a prime spot for overtaking. But you aren’t able to see much of the cars as they head on to the pit straight, as the pitlane building blocks your view pretty quickly once they have exited Club corner. You can see the cars as they enter the pitlane, but none of the action in the pits themselves.
The pink track highlighted in the image below is roughly what can be seen from Club A grandstand. The limits of this at either end will vary slightly depending on which side of the grandstand you sit.
The video below was filmed from Club A grandstand and gives a good idea of what is visible.
Club A seating plan
Enter your name and email below and the Silverstone Club A grandstand seating plan will be sent to your inbox (the file is too large to host here!)
The grandstand has rows from A (front / lowest down) to U (back / highest up) and seat numbers that run from 1 (closest to Vale corner) to 111 (closest to the start / finish straight). There is no row I (eye).
Club B grandstand
where is Club B grandstand at Silverstone?
Silverstone’s Club B grandstand is the next grandstand along from Club A. It is on the outside of the track (left-hand side) pretty much equidistant between Vale and Club corners.
Club B is also North-East facing so again the sun will be behind you most of the day.

view from Club B grandstand
Being a little closer to Club corner, Club B has a better view of the run in to Vale from the exit of Stowe. Additionally you are able to see more of the start / finish straight, and have a better chance of seeing some pitlane and podium action. Although this depends on which side of the grandstand you sit in.
The diagram below shows the pink highlighted areas as the parts of the track that are mostly visible from Club B.
The video below also shows the view from here when Lewis did his double overtake at the 2022 British Grand Prix. Just listen to the atmosphere in the covered stand!
Club B seating plan
Enter your name and email below and the Silverstone Club B grandstand seating plan will be sent to your inbox (the file is too large to host here!)
The rows run from A (front / lowest) to U (back / highest) and seat numbers start at 208 (closest to Vale) and run to 427 (closest to the start / finish straight). There is no row I (eye).
To stand a chance of having a view of the pit straight, pits and podium aim for higher seat numbers.
Club C grandstand
where is Club C grandstand at Silverstone?
Club C is directly on the outside (left-hand side) of Club corner at Silverstone. It is adjacent Club B grandstand.
Club C is East facing, so you may be looking in to the sun early in the morning but it will slowly move around to the right hand side of you and eventually behind you throughout the day.
Map below courtesy of the Silverstone website.
view from Club C grandstand
Club C has, for me, the best view of any grandstand at Silverstone. You have an excellent view of Vale and Club corners, plus you get to see more of the exit of Stowe corner than from any of the Club grandstands.
Additionally, you can see the whole start / finish straight plus the entrance to the first corner Abbey, as well as the full pitlane. And if that wasn’t enough it is directly opposite the podium. The only other grandstand with such a good view of the podium is Hamliton A, but that one has a very limited view of Vale.
The image below shows how much of the circuit can be seen from Club C, highlighted in pink.
The video below gives an overview of what can be seen from Club C.
In 2023 the Club C grandstand was extended with more seats being added on the extreme left hand-side of the stand (as you look at the circuit).
Some of these new seats are actually parallel with the start / finish straight. As such, they’re close to the adjacent Hamilton A grandstand and can have their view of the end of the straight and Abbey corner blocked slightly. The further to the left you sit and the higher up you are, the more the Hamilton A stand will block your view.
The video below was taken from seat 648 row P and you can see that the view from here is slightly impeded by the grandstand to the left.
Club C seating plan
Enter your name and email below and the Silverstone Club C grandstand seating plan will be sent to your inbox (the file is too large to host here!)
The rows run from A (front / lowest) to U (back / highest) and seat numbers go from 428 (nearest Vale) to 678 (nearest the start line). There is no row I (eye).
Seat numbers 599 and above are part of the extended section. Seat numbers 616 and up are parallel to the main straight and can have their view impeded by the adjacent grandstand.
where's the best place to sit?
Without a doubt Club C is the best of the three Club Corner grandstands at Silverstone, if you get the right seats.
If you can, avoid seat numbers above 615 as these will have their view impeded by the adjacent Hamilton A grandstand, especially if you sit in the higher rows. If you do get those high seat numbers, go for the lower rows.
The best choice s are seat numbers below 600 in Club C and in the higher rows. From there you’ll have an incredible view of Vale, Club, the whole of Hamilton straight and even the entry to the first corner.
Plus you’ll be able to see the pitlane and the podium. All of this makes Club C, in my opinion, the best grandstand at Silverstone.
how many seats are in Club grandstand?
The three Club grandstands have roughly the following numbers of seats:
- Club A: 1500
- Club B: 3400
- Club C: 2500

I want to get tickets for the MOTO GP and the KTM fan stand only has two seats left but they aren’t together! Shall I book for the club corner C! & shall I go for the 600+seats
Hi Sophie, in the seat selection map on the Silverstone website for Club C there is an additional block of seats that are numbers 565 and up. I don’t know if these are currently part of the existing Club stand or if Silverstone are planning on putting an additional stand here for 2023, as the seat plan doesn’t quite match up to the existing grandstands.
If it was me booking, I’d hedge my bets and go for a couple of seats in the 553 – 564 range. Hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing this information, it’s very helpful and detailed.
One question, could you re-upload the club corner b map seating image? I get a 404 when accessing it.
Hi Franciso, thanks for the head up. Club B seating plan is now reuploaded and should auto download when you click the thumbnail.
Thanks
Hi thanks for such great information Does the Club C section seating plan actually show the seat numbers please?
Hi Tandy, yes it does. Click the seating plan image above and it will download, you’ll just have to zoom in quite far to see the numbers!
We have tickets on club corner A grandstand but they are for row U seats 92 & 93
These aren’t on the seating plan! Any idea?
Hi Maria, the Club A seating plan has now been updated (it was showing a slightly older version). You’ll see that row U is now the back row and seats 92 and 93 are pretty close to the left-hand side of the stand (as you look at the track). You’ll be close to Club Corner and will have an awesome view from the back row, so you’ve got some great seats!
Hi, from watching this years British GP it looks like there is a new stadium right next to Club C far straight end. Looks like it might impend the view of the straight from some seats. Where would you say the best seats are in Club C to get views of the straight and previous corners. Also is it better to be high up or low down or in the middle! Many thanks.
Hi Giles thanks for the comment – you’re right about the view being slightly impeded.
The ‘new’ stand is in fact the Hamilton Straight A grandstand (used to be Hamilton South) which was also there in 2022.
There were 2 changes to this area at the 2023 British GP that has resulted in the slightly impeded view. Firstly they made the Hamilton A stand longer, adding more seats to the right hand side of the stand (as you look at the track).
Secondly they also extended Club C with additional seating further along the straight on the left hand end of the stand (as you look at the track). If you check out the seating plan above for Club C, you can see that seat numbers 599 and above are part of the new section.
Seat numbers 616 and above are in the part of the stand that is parallel with the main straight and as such have a view that can be impeded by the adjacent Hamilton A. The further towards the end of the stand you are and the higher up you are, the worse it will be.
My choice would be to go for seat numbers lower than 600, in the middle and towards the top of the stand. Hope that helps!
Yes, thanks for the info.
Hi, when buying the tickets for the next F1 GP, how does it work ? For Club Corner how precise can you be on the choice of your seat ? Can you only choose the grandstand or can you choose the exact seat ? Thanks in advance !
Hi Sam, if it’s the same as last year then when booking through the official Silverstone website you first select your grandstand and you’ll be randomly assigned some seats in that stand. You then have the option to change your seats and you’re taken to another page when you can select specific seats, as long as they’re not already taken.
That is really very useful and detailed information. Thanks for all the effort you have put into this site. Added to my bookmarks.
Hi Robert, thanks for the comment it means a lot! Please feel free to share the link to this website with anyone else you think it may be useful to.
Thank you SO much for all of this information, it’s been invaluable as we prepared to book our 2024 tickets! You saved us from so much additional work and we knew exactly which seats to book.
Thanks for the comments Kelli, glad you found it useful!
Is there parking near gate 15
Hi Roger, gate 15 is towards the south of the circuit. If you use the official Silverstone ‘Car Park 1’ option, that means you could end up in any of the Silverstone car parks around the track so you have no guarantee you’ll be near gate 15.
There are a number of private car parks around the circuit that may be a better option. Full list can be found here: https://oversteer48.com/silverstone-parking/
Of those, check out Dadford Road parking. That’s also to the South of the circuit so will be the closest private parking option to Gate 15.
Hi – this site has been invaluable in my research for tickets for the 2024 British GP – off the back of the advice in the article (lower than 600 and high row) I have plumped for seats on row R numbers 596 and 597 (the side leg room being on the end of the row will be handy!) – I hope the seats provide a great view!?!?!?!?!
Thanks for your hard work on the site, it really is helpful to total track newbies!
Hi Richard, they sound like they should be some awesome seats, and the leg room on the aisle should make it even better. Well done on securing them, and thanks for the comment
Avoid seats above 615 in clubcorner C. Doh just got seat 616 for F1 next year, lol
It’s still a great seat Ash, one of the best at the track! You’ll have amazing views of Vale, Club, the Podium, finish line and the pitlane. Which row are you in?
Right near the top Q, so defo wont be able to see down the straight if that grandstand roof is in the way
Club b seats row s 270
Nice seats
Any idea whereabouts in grandstand these seats are
Hi, I’ve booked my 2024 seats for club stand A but the numbers went way beyond 111. I’m assuming they have or are planning on adding additional seating to the stand. Do you have a plan for the updated stand yet? TIA your site is so helpful!
Hi Georgina, yep looks like they’re adding some additional seats. I’ve just updated the seating plan so if you add your email address again the link for the Club A plan in the email will be the new one. Any issues drop me an email!
Thanks so much for this article. Today we secured Club Corner C seats 578/9 Row U. Will they be okay? I’m starting to get nervous about us being on the back row/ too far from the track…
Amazing seats! I always prefer the further back / higher rows at race circuits as you have a much wider vantage point.
Just got my tickets for next year and was wondering what the view would be like from club corner b row G 323. Will I be able to see the start/finish straight and pit lane?
Hi Lewis, looks like you’ll be in the part of the grandstand where there’s the letter ‘V’ in this streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EBGM8Sr1ZrqikdFp9
Have a pan around the streetview image and you’ll see how much you can see. You will see the pit lane entry and the beginning of the Hamilton Straight. You might jsut be able to see the finish line but the start line, further down the straight, might just be out of view.
Either way awesome seats and you’ll have a great time!
Hi all. I’ve bought my husband tickets to 2024 GP for his 50th, but am nervous that the seats aren’t perfect!! Any advice would be amazing! I did try to work out from using this website the best ones for the money I was able to afford, but would love some reassurance! We have seats in club corner row T…. Fingers crossed!!
Hi Julie, the Club corner grandstands are definitely some of the best at Silverstone, especially high up in Row T. Did you go for Club Corner block A, B or C?
I got them in B. The little slice in the corner of the picture if that makes sense!!!
They’ll be great seats Julie well done! You’ll see the cars for a long time as they come through Vale and Club corners, plus you’ll see the pit lane entry, the start of the Hamilton Straight and might be able to catch some of the podium too.
Phew!!! Thanks!! It’s all down to this website though I was researching as I was buying them! It was a very tense 15 minutes!! 😆
