F1 Fanatic

Thanks Maciek. I’m surprised the F1 media haven’t mentioned it here in the UK – maybe they’ll turn their attention to it after Monaco.

Does anyone know what parts of the city are most affected by the current student protests? They seem to be […]

I’m paying about £67 per suite per night at the Candlewood Suites. I’ve not stayed there before (I normally stay at the Hyatt or the Westin) so don’t know how good it is. Reviews are mixed (and it hasn’t got […]

Thanks Duchess. I’m arriving on Tuesday evening so Thursday’s a definite for me (+ a good opportunity to pick up my tickets from the box office).

I managed to cut my hotel bill down even further – 7 days […]

I’m also going solo, and will be in GS 33, though I’m wondering if I could/should phone up to see if I can upgrade to GS 1 or 2 for my first ever GP.
Accommodation is pricey for the weekend, although the […]

The only Sky option I can use is Sky Go (monthly ticket). The stream was delayed by almost a minute this morning, so was out of synch with the official live timings (and the chat on this forum). Yesterday […]

Thanks Maciek, and thank you for the accommodation suggestions.

I made a few online enquiries about apartments a couple of months back. The replies showed that they were adding quite a lot onto the normal […]

For those that have been before, what’s worth seeing or doing at the circuit, in addition to the racing (bearing in mind I haven’t been to a GP before)?
Is it worth wandering around, to pick up freebies or […]

Me too Jenny. I’ve been twice before and I know where the circuit is – I always take a ride on the public bus that goes along it, just for the thrill of saying I’ve driven a F1 circuit :) But both times were […]

I agree. It’s going to be amazing. And as a newbie I’ll discover what I do and don’t like, and hopefully take it forward for other races. I tend to go to Montreal every year for one reason or another, so maybe […]

Hmmm. I’m in grandstand 33, section 7, row Q. It was supposed to be the best available when I bought it 2 months ago. Does that mean that I’m higher up than Jenny, and is that better or worse? It’s my first GP […]

I discovered today that it can be cheaper if you stay longer in Montreal. A room at the Candlewood Suites (downtown) costs £960+tax in total for 4 nights over the GP weekend, but £475+tax for 7 nights. If you book […]

Ryan,
According to this link, last year’s box office was located next to the Jean-Drapeau metro station, which is the nearest metro station to the circuit. I’d also be interested to know when you can pick them […]

I hope Eddie stays too. I don’t always agree with what he says, but then I don’t always agree with DC or Brundle either. That’s probably because I don’t like hearing my favourite drivers/teams criticised in […]

@ Brian Fromholtz – or maybe buy a weekend ticket yourself, and sell off the Sat/Sun tickets? That way you’re guaranteed a seat.

@ MRPiGoiL: I’d aim for Weds if you can make it, in case there are events on Thursday. I’ve not been before but it sounds like there’ll be a great atmosphere in the city too.
I’m arriving a week early to […]
