The British Grand Prix from Oxford
A chauffeured day at the British Grand Prix, starting from Oxford. Collection is from any address in Oxford.

How the day runs
Collection is from your door in Oxford. A luxury people-carrier is the usual choice for a larger group. Leaving Oxford, the car picks up the A34 and keeps to the main roads. Drop-off follows the published arrangements. The circuit does not provide a drop-off facility. Visitors are directed to shuttle buses from rail stations or park-and-ride sites; locals can use a drop-off/pick-up point at Towcester Racecourse with pre-booked bus tickets. Parking must be booked. All day the car stays on hand; a message brings it round. Back at Oxford about 50 minutes after leaving the gates, give or take the exit queue.
