F1 Fanatic

hi all :) myself and my friend heading to the barcelona grand prix , was at monza and turkish one last year was excellent love it and the noise , we have 3 day gold tickets in high grandstand looks to be good views from there , we are flying from newcastle only 2 hr flight into barcelona , we got hotel in central barcelona . mark u will love it :) get some better weather away from silverstone lol :P

Hi Steven, I am hoping the weather is gonna be good. we are flying out from Bristol. I live in Middlesbrough, from Hampshire originally, so will be driving down to pick my dad up and then on to Bristol airport. Fly out Friday morning arrive Barcelona at about 1pm. We will miss Friday practice but will be there for Saturday and Sunday. I am all ready for the off ! can’t wait.

Same @Dbott The idea’s of sitting in the rain dosn’t sound great. Were flying out Wednesday. and apart from Sunday the weather looks great, lets hope it holds off.

Anyone any reccomendations where to sit within GA

hi! Have just found out I’ll be going to the grand prix from the UK!
will be keeping fingers crossed for the weather too…

can anyone recommend how to get from Barca to the track? either the Sagales coaches or train + shuttle bus from Montmelo?

can you use a Barcelona card on the train to Montmelo, can you buy Sagales coach tickets on the coach/same day that you travel?

hey Mark

the coach is sounding like a good idea… can you get any coach, or do you have to get one at a specific slot? so if you missed yours, you’re a bit stuffed.

we’re staying just north of Barca, so will get the Metro into town to make connections.

thanks Silverfan :)
i’ve had a look, i presume you have to get the specific coach times you book for… including the return journey from the circuit?

edit – ahh you just book tickets for the days you wish, and don’t have to specify a particular timeslot :)

The bus departs every 30 mins on Saturday and every 15 minutes on the Sunday

Hi

Me and the girlfriend are in Barca at the moment, it’s my 40th birthday on Saturday so as a birthday treat we went to the Estoril MotoGP and are now waiting for the F1 weekend to start!

Neither of us have been to a race before, apart from the Isle of Man TT, but considering we live on the IOM we tend to take that for granted.

We both really enjoyed Estoril, GP bikes sound awesome IRL as opposed to watching them on the telly and Portugal was a lovely place.

We have tickets for stand E, good choice?

Can anyone recommend any bars in Barca with a good F1 vibe? We are currently staying in the Barcelo Raval if that helps.

Cheers
