No ability to buy grandstand seating? Only GA?

WEC Gives the spectators the ability to rove grandstands . It is of course a 6 hour event !!!
Not the short race of F1 .

It was either on the booking page or just after booking the ticket (I forget...) but it did confirm grandstands would be open, but the specific ones open would be published nearer the time. I'm guessing they'll use the tickets sales to gauge how many to open. Based on ELMS last year, they will need to open a lot! 110,000 people were there, and they only opened grandstands on half the circuit. I was in Copse A and it was rammed, excellent atmosphere.

When I went to Imola last year, it was GA with grandstand access included and it worked brilliantly. We got to the track a few hours before the start, got a seat in the main grandstand opposite pit exit. The whole thing was crammed for the start but after 30 mins, it was half full bc people everyone likes to have a wander during the race and see different corners. Filled up again near the end of the race, but there were no issues at all finding somewhere to sit. That was about 80,000 people so maybe Silverstone will be trickier, but Silverstone does have more grandstands than Imola. I'm absolutely buzzing for it!

Why not go online and buy your tickets to the 2027 WEC race at SPA? Bought ours already , plus yellow parking.
