I've only got the National video, but to be honest considering how long it is (3.3 miles) it's actually quite easy to learn. Mostly because of long straights.

Try Here.

They take a while to come down with a few laps and music but worth it i reckon.

Silverstone has nice big signs up before the corners giving you a wiggly arrow to show you what's coming.

I would say that you should look out for some creative linetaking though, the place is so wide that you'll get novices taking some very strange lines and they can surprise you sometimes.

Also, there's a mickey mouse chicane coming onto the start finish straight, might not be featured on any videos you find.

That chicane is infuriating. If they let bikes use the proper corner (Luffield?), it'd be one of the best on the circuit! Evil or Very Mad

Definitely, is a right pain in the ass. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be making the racing safer, judging by the amount of highsides they have coming out of there Shocked Even my 400 was spinning up in the wet Rolling Eyes

Yep! Just got back from watching the British Superbikes there, and I was surprised that they use the crappy chicane too. There were quite a few highsides there just in the 20 minutes I spent watching at that corner.

I was just watching the guy's track day video at Brands Hatch Indy, the bike was in the same gear all the way around, never changed in the later alps, I can't remember the early laps, but he was going all the way round the entire lap in the same gear! Just though that was quite funny!
