How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 82 - 75: VIP Privileges

After landing, the two were utterly exhausted and had no spare energy to observe the streets of Britain or the specific cultural differences compared to home. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The slightly lethargic pair found a uniquely British black Black Cab taxi at the airport’s exit, then took this characteristic taxi to the hotel they had already booked.

On the way to the hotel, neither of them were in the mood to chat, so they just snuggled together in the back seat.

After all, they had been traveling for 20 hours, and although there was no vigorous exercise or physical labor, their mental exhaustion was considerable.

They arrived at the hotel, full of fatigue, checked in, and entered their hotel room.

As soon as they entered the room, Qin Miao threw his suitcase aside, wanting to lie down on the bed and sleep immediately, but Qimeng stopped him. After changing the bed sheets and duvet cover, she let Qin Miao lie down to sleep.

She also didn’t have the energy to tidy up, so she simply took off her clothes and nestled into Qin Miao’s arms.

The two didn’t even shower as planned, let alone have dinner.

Despite the exhaustion from the journey, they had a rather comfortable nap in the afternoon.

When they woke up again, it was already 5 AM on the second day.

There was nothing they could do; they had gone to bed too early the previous evening.

Even if they woke up at 5 AM, they still slept for nearly 11 hours.

Since the UK is a high-latitude country, in July, the daylight comes very early, and the sky brightens before four in the morning.

When Qin Miao and the pair landed after six PM the previous night, it was still bright.

After getting up in the morning, the routine was very ordinary: wash up, organize personal belongings briefly, and ensure nothing was left behind before checking out and leaving.

After all, they came to watch the F1 Grand Prix, and the location of the Grand Prix is not in Hounslow.

They took another uniquely British Black Cab taxi, and this time Qimeng seemed quite interested, captivated by the taxi’s interior decorations on the way to Silverstone.

Qin Miao was more concerned with the roadside architecture and the attire of pedestrians. Britain is considered a country with a relatively long history, and despite experiencing some war devastations, many ancient buildings have been preserved.

These architectures, with styles vastly different from their own country, yet showcasing distinctive features, indeed piqued Qin Miao’s curiosity.

Actually, Britain isn’t very large; truthfully, compared, it is only equivalent to about four Tongliao cities, similar in size to Guangxi.

Therefore, while it might seem like there is a substantial distance between Silverstone Circuit and London on the map, it’s actually only around 100 kilometers.

Setting off from the hotel in Hounslow, it took a one and a half hour drive for both to reach Silverstone Circuit.

The tickets Qimeng bought for them were the most expensive type, over 40,000 per ticket, totaling 81,000 for two.

Honestly, if Qin Miao didn’t have a windfall of money, he probably wouldn’t have the heart to spend on such a terrifying amount.

Of course, there are advantages to expensive tickets. First, Qin Miao and the group bought the priciest VIP Ferrari team package.

That means they can go directly to the Ferrari team’s P-room to watch the race during the main event or practice sessions one, two, and three, and the qualifying preparation stage.

Secondly, there’s an excellent viewing spot in the VIP area, specifically located at the end of turn 16.

From this position, Qin Miao can clearly see the exit of turn 15 along with turns 16, 17, and 18, offering a fantastic viewing angle.

Moreover, compared to the densely packed ordinary viewing spots, their area has a very low crowd density, with professional service staff ready to provide food and beverages at any time.

Most critically, their spot has a high sunshade canopy, which can block the blazing sun while not obstructing their view of the race.

They also have opportunities to meet face-to-face with F1 drivers and getting autographs is certainly not an issue.

After the race, they can join the team’s gatherings.

For the two now, the key point of this ticket is that it includes hotel accommodation service for three days of playing time, although Qin Miao and the group arrived a day early, requiring an additional day’s lodging fee.

Nonetheless, although the ticket is a bit pricey, it is undeniable that with so many discounts and privileges, the money spent is absolutely worthwhile.

Upon reaching the hotel and paying the extra day’s fee, they settled their luggage in the hotel. After getting organized, it was only nine in the morning.

Neither was hungry, so they decided to head straight to the largest nearby tourist attraction, none other than one of Britain’s most prestigious tracks: "Silverstone Circuit" for a walk around.

Compared to other tracks on the F1 calendar, Silverstone Circuit is considered one of the most historically significant tracks.

Because it was the venue for the first-ever F1 World Championship, this track has become synonymous with British motorsport through historical sedimentation and time’s baptism.

Thus, Britain’s motorsport atmosphere and racing heritage are incredibly deep-rooted, with numerous F1 team headquarters established in Britain.

Upon leaving the hotel, two instantly felt the racing atmosphere sweeping up to them.

The advertising billboards alongside Silverstone Circuit no longer displayed advertisements for a particular product, instead featuring photographs of F1 cars or drivers.
