I'm double excited!

Three is a less expensive way to go to the Oz GP. However, it requires a bit of groundwork beforehand, and an early start.

During the thursday festivities, you need to walk around the outer sections of the circuit (the pit straight area is excluded already). There are several small hills next to grandstands which offer quite a good view, notably to the west of Clark stand.

On Saturday morning, you have to get to your vantage spot early and claim it with a folding chair. If you go with a couple of mates, then one guy can keep watch on the seats while the others go for drinks etc. On Sunday, same thing, get there early. Bring your own breakfast if you have to.

If you think Fuji is less expensive, wait till you add the accomodation, food, transportation and air fares to the whole.

Basically, GP's are not cheap; I didn't go last year because it would have cost me around $650 for a seat in the grandstand. Don't know how much it will cost next year. :(

I don't know if I replied to this yet but I plan on going to the USGP again this year.

Oh and how about someone starting a threat that people who have been to GP this year or are going to one can share their experiences?

because of the change of layout they are letting them test this year, it is 25euros per day

I went to the Melbourne GP this year, my third lifetime Grand Prix after twice attending the GP of Turkey. The Melbourne GP was good, yes it was expensive but I have come to terms with that. I enjoyed the race, and the rise of Hamilton.

However in terms of racing, I think the Tilke designed Istanbul Park is one of the best circuits on the calender, and produces better racing thatn Alber Park.

I think this will be my only GP this year as I don't think I'll be going back to Europe anytime soon.

I will wait until Alonso leaves Formula 1 to go back to the GP in Catalunya. So not before than 6 years I think

Are you talking of this september or the next one? We don't have a belgian GP this season!

Belgian Grand Prix -16th September 2007.

What tickets did you get astraracer? I've sat all around the track on the friday and saturday, but only at Rivage and the hairpin at the top of the hill on race day. La Source is probably the best place to get tickets these days.
