I will be at Silverstone this year, wouldn’t miss seeing the English boys flying round in the Mclaren and seeing Lewis teach Schumacher a thing or two!

If its anything like last year to will be awesome and to top it all they are showing the WC final live after the race on the big screens, all shapping up to be a fantastic weekend.

Be sure to rent a Kangaroo device. Not necessarily for the video-that’s kind of self-defeating with the real thing whizzing by in front of you. But for the audio and lap times-you can watch battles develop throughout the race by watching the timing gaps.
Oh, yes-use the video if someone gets a penalty-the replays are nice.
Worth the cost, whatever track you visit!

The Ford vs Holden derby wont be on this year, because the Albert Park weekend will count towards the championship this time, so you will be seeing a proper quliy and grid line up.

I’ve been to a quite few F1 races now, but only in the following three countries: Italy, Oz & Malaysia, all of which have their own specialities.

Malaysia, very accessible (via luxurious train), extremely cheap tickets and brilliant visibility from GRANDSTAND F PLATINUM (at least 75% of the track is visible, including about 7 turns, both straights and even a view into the pits). Malaysian’s don’t do themselves or the fans any favours though by neglecting the facilities, leading to ankle breaking ‘paved’ areas and having stupid rules which mean you’ll starve (unless you smuggle food in.. very hard this). A fantastic track though.

Australia,.. the overall show & ‘support acts’ more than make up for rather poor viewing areas & grandstands. The arrogantly ignorant aussie crowd who really turn up (on race day) to see the ford v’s holden V8 derby take alot away from the experience though. The management of other racetracks could learn alot from the Aussie GP organisers though, as they really do put on a great show, with lots of on track activity, air displays and basically a concert in between and after the races.

Italy, well, it’s Monza after all… a great track, loadsa good viewing spots and a brilliant atmosphere. Modern Milanese arrogance has set in around Monza though and you’ll find it hard to believe how ignorant the locals are of such a world famous event and its thousands of hungry supporters. The tracks facilities are very basic, dangerous even, unless you’ve got a big money ticket prepare for an uncomfortable visit (and this coming form someone who camps there every year). I recommend the Ascari Chicane or the Parabolica entrance & exits (turn one is surprisingly boring in comparison).

We’re off to the Belgian Grand Prix this year, my dad lives in Belgium, and it should be great fun!!!

I think were going to be based by La Source for the 3 days – and I travel over the same day as my GCSE Exam Results come out.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Let’s hope they do renovate the covered stands in Sepang – or at least fix it. They also need a covered walkway shed from the Petronas gas station outside the circuit (where the KLIA bus parks) to the Sepang bus station across the road. It’s either crazy hot or bucketing down.
