I have several memories of being in a queue to get in for an hour or two, 
and then a longer queue on the way out that never seemed to end.  I think 
it's mainly because Silverstone is in the middle of nowhere so *everyone* 
uses the same single-lane road for 20 miles or so until it gets to the 
motorway where some traffic goes different ways and starts to turn off.

Although recently it has improved, the FIA gave them some money to make a 
lot of the road dual-carriageway and basically threatened them to improve 
the access situation or they'd take away the race.
