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 going for the town as close to austin and hire a car option as i will probably stay for a week and do the tourist thing

@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 around freely on Friday, I got my ticket checked (repeatedly) at the Turn 5 grandstand so perhaps it depends on how strictly the staff at each grandstand want to police the entrance.

@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.

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 little high. Maybe next year.

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.

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, Pits, Turns 1 through 4, the Instambul Turns and more. Also close to entrance.
