Tickets for the opening rounds of the 2012 FIA Formula Two Championship at Silverstone on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 April are now available to F2 fans.

Held at the home of the British Grand Prix, the opening rounds of the F2 series always provide a great spectacle with packed grids of young international drivers eager to get their seasons off to a winning start.

Last year saw eventual champion Mirko Bortolotti open his F2 campaign with a lights-to-flag victory, with Spaniard Miki Mornas also claiming his maiden win. British driver Will Bratt was also able to impress in front of his home crowd, securing a podium in Saturday's race one.

The event will also mark the debut for the new 2012-spec F2 car which features an upgrade performance package including carbon composite brakes, to reduce weight and improve performance, and new Yokohama tyres. These developments will see the car lap around two seconds a lap faster than the 2011 version.

In addition to the two F2 races, there will also be a wide range of support series competing over the weekend with advanced day tickets costing just £9 (around €11) and advance weekend tickets priced at £15 (€18). Tickets on the gate cost £10 (€12) per day with children aged 15 and under going free.
