F1 Fanatic

Got my Ticket, Parking and Hotel. Turn 1 again. Hotel i found Motel6 Austin South Airport the cheapest and also closest to the track. $119/night.
Turn 1 gives you an incredible view of the whole Start Finish, […]

Mid level Turn 15 for me. Traveling from Australia for the race, trying to economize on the tickets seems pointless. Done my ticketing for Sao Paulo as well now so lots of long haul flying to do.

Okay, I’ve finally caved in and bought tickets for this year’s US GP. Will be at Turn 9 with a set of binoculars to see down the back straight. Was initially tempted by Turn 15 but decided that the premium was a […]

@codesurge, you are probably right. We were chatting with one of the staff at turn 4 and she told us that we could go pretty much anywhere since it was quiet on Friday, but maybe not all of the staff felt that way.

@hockeynut Well, I saw the opposite trend for the Singapore night race. The first year was madness with everybody jumping in on the hype wagon, but the attendance in the second year tailed off.

About moving […]

Was having a quick look for hotels and pickings seem to be poor,im hoping that all the travel companies are reserving rooms then they will get released closer to the event which happens quite frequently,if not im […]

I would expect the opposite – people may have waited to see how the first year went. Since it was such a raging success, more folks are going to give it a shot this year. We will see.

Note that on Friday you […]

@bluelions Thanks for the info. Have been tempted by Turn 9 as it seems that with a good pair of binoculars and a high enough seat, you can see the Turn 12 braking zone. Would probably go for Turn 12 itself if […]

I got tickets for turn 12. I wanted turn 1 or 15, but they appeared to be sold out by the time I got my order in. I also got a parking pass for lot F. See y’all there!

@codesurge, we could see part of the back straight, but there is a slight hill in the middle of the track there and you definitely could not see all the way to turn 12. We were in row 1. Maybe if you are up […]

@bluelions Were you able to see down the back straight from your seat at T11 East? I sat at Turn 5 last year thinking that I’d be able to look across the track to Turn 12 but the view was obstructed.

I went last year and sat at Turn 11 E. It was OK but I am considering turn 1 or 15 this year. Turn 11 was a long walk from the main entrance. There was supposedly a shuttle bus to all the gates, but it seemed […]

Last year I stayed in San Antonio. Transport (by rented car on the new toll road) was pretty painless (never encountered any substantial traffic), but it’s a pretty long drive. This year I am going to try to get […]

If you aren’t interested in paying the ridiculous prices for hotels and don’t want to drive from nearby towns with cheaper hotels, an additional alternative would be to find rooms for rent by local […]
