Airhorns

Surely I'm not the only person that watches the race with a stopwatch.

No, you're not. While not exactly a stopwatch, I sat at the 2004 USGP directly across from a big screen monitor where I was fascinated in watching MS put in lap-after-lap with the times varying only by a couple of tenths!

(By the way, I was in a section without airhorns, luckily!)

What's outrageous about $0.99 ear plugs?

THANK YOU! lol
If your rich enough to buy a race ticket and drinks,merchandise ect then I'm sure you can afford earplugs OR you can just use ones that you had left over from last year! Huzzaahh!

If you are annoyed by airhorns, my advice is never ever go to a downhill ski-race, because the the noise close to the finish line is totally deafening.

I can't say that I like them but I guess it's horses for courses. I get more annoyed about flag-wavers and people who decide to stand up every time their favorite driver comes around but I still wouldn't let something that trivial spoil my experience.

Earplugs/defenders/headphones plugged into a radio are essentail for anyone going to watch F1.
