F1 Fanatic

Going to this one. My first ever Formula 1 race! It’s taken many years, but i’ve finally gotten my finances right and am forking out to go to Malaysia for the GP.

Got the tickets a few weeks back. Sitting at turn 1, which seems to be the place to go.

Who has been there before? Any good stories?

Ive sat at turn 1, you have a good view of the end of the main straight, then the tight right hander and quick left wrapping around to the back straight, it can be hot so take alot of FROZEN drinks.
Personally I prefer to sit at the hairpin, but in reality Sepang ois one of the best f1 viewing tracks on the calander.
Addditionally the entrance to turn one if immediately to the left as you enter the track, but have yourself a wander on friday u can sit where ever u want………………….enjoy

this will be my first time at a GP, bought my tix in october on the early bird offer. happy to see current prices reflecting almost triple what i paid, helps being a tight ass. i will be in the ruby section and from what the viewer shows it puts me around P8 on the grid. although i have 2 tix the wife wont be attending fp1-3 or qually. she will be only be with me on race day, something about shopping in KL being better than seeing the same cars 3 days in a row… ha ha. we touch down around lunch time so i miss fp1 but will make an effort to be there…i hate flying like you wont believe. anyone here want to use the spare sessions on the tix i am happy to assist just means i walk you in on the ticket and then leave you to do whatever. otherwise the first 2 days are wasted. PM if keen. i am quite torn between hunting for autorgraphs or just balance it with enjoyig the F1. also hope to catch up with some of the red bull guys. i hear most of the drivers stay at the hotel at the aiport…seems logical. good hunting ground.

see you guys there, it shall be good.

Hey guys,

if your keen to meet up at sepang or before then PM me. When i go to KL i religiously buy a prepaid sim for my phone as the wife and i usually go seperate ways shopping etc. I will be staying in KL city centre just opposite the Petronas towers.

Any ideas on the latest point at which you can buy decent grandstand tickets? I’m hoping to be there but might not have confirmation of travel for a few more weeks.

Hi all,

First time at Sepang for me, although have done British GP twice before and also attending Silverstone and Spa this year.

We have seats in Grandstand F, as the view of most of the track looked amazing. Have heard stories about needing towels to wipe off sweat so expecting a sweaty 3 days!
