Champions Club Hospitality Critic Review
Introduction
Champions Club by F1® Experiences is an official hospitality offering by F1, it is a product that is available at worldwide Grand Prix, in conjunction with their premier product, F1® Paddock Club. The concept is to combine hospitality with experiences that are usually not available to fans. The Champions Club package includes a guided tour of the Formula 1 Paddock, where you can watch teams and drivers interact. On Saturday, you will get the opportunity to take a walk down the famous Formula 1 grid before posing for a professional photo on the track with the authentic World Championship trophies. The Champions Club at Silverstone is situated in the new UTC Building (Silverstone University Technical College), specialising in engineering excellence. The Champions Club is a 2-day package (Sat & Sun), Sunday-only may become available late on.
Hospitality Location
The UTC Building is located in a good location, adjacent to the National Pits Straight (i.e. the old start/finish straight). It is slightly set back from the track, however, its large roof terrace location affords sweeping views.
Tickets

Facility/Décor
This is a casual facility, not formal hospitality. It is a smart functional space but does not have the refinery associated with traditional suite or marquee hospitality. It has several large windows so has an abundance of natural light. There is a mix of lounge seating or high tables with stool seating. There are also tables & chairs on the terrace.
Private Tables
There are no reserved tables. Guest seating is on a first-served basis.
Catering
Catering consists of a buffet station with a wide selection of dishes.
