Motorists using the M1 and the A43 in the East Midlands and the M40 around Oxfordshire are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys as the 2012 Silverstone Classic is being staged at Silverstone this weekend.
Steve Parker, emergency planning officer for the Highways Agency in the Midlands, said: "Motorists using the roads in the vicinity of Silverstone this weekend can help us to help them by planning their journey in advance and leaving extra time, as the roads on the approach to the Silverstone circuit are likely to be busy.
The Highways Agency will use its electronic message signs on approaching motorways to give drivers information about any diversions and delays, and provide up-to-the minute traffic information using local radio.
Those with iPhones will be able to check the traffic conditions before they leave or when parked using our Highways Agency travel news app or can follow our Twitter feed at @HAsilverstone.
