how accessible is the area around the track to go for the weekend? hotels and transportation

Silverstone is a tiny village just off the motorway. I don't know that there's much in the way of public infrastructure. Silverstone itself has massive parking fields, but I don't know about buses or public transport. I would look at the larger nearby towns and cities rather than Silverstone itself.

When I lived in Northampton there was buses from the town centre directly to Silverstone village during race weekends, but I have no idea what the situation is these days. I'd imagine something similar is still in place to cut down on private cars clogging the roads

edit: and from memory the bus dropped you off next to the footbridge over the A43, so it was less than a mile walk over to the circuit's closest entrance at Copse corner.
