Final Test

[N4D13]

Is it going to be at Catalunya or has it been confirmed somewhere that they won't bother?

Not confirmed yet. In fact, we don't even know if the tests and the race will be held at Bahrain or not. But Joe Saward claims that the word at the paddock is that the teams have asked the Circuit de Catalunya about their disponibility.

How far is it from the centre of Barcelona to the circuit?

It's about 30 minutes from the city by car.

How easy is it to get their if you're an idiot and want to do things cheaply?

I understand that you can get there by train -that's what a friend told me-, but you should get information about it. However, hitchhiking in Spain is hardly an option.

Would we be able to get access?

You can enter the circuit after paying a small fee - it 10 € or 15 €, depending on which day you go. But I don't know if you would need to pay more for, let's say, grandstand seats.

Is it actually worth the effort?

I wouldn't go to a pre-season test, let alone pay for it, because I might find it boring and I wouldn't enjoy spending quite a few hours doing nothing but watch cars go past. Then again, I've never been to a circuit, so you might want to hear someone else's opinion.
