I went last year, and apart from shutting off the A43 so everyone coming out could use both sides of carriageway, there was very little traffic disruption at all. I'd imagine quite a few people heading south from the race will use the M40 anyway, so you should be fine.

We buggered off about half an hour after the podium, but I reckon it was a steady stream of people from as soon as the race finished until the end of the day, rather than everyone piling back to their cars as soon as the chequered flag was waved. Took us about 40 minutes back to the M1 and then no problems at all going North. They do a big Park & Ride thing at Northampton football club, so it might get a bit busy at the M1 there, but we didn't really notice any jams as such.
