    My first Grand Prix.
    I remember:

    Leaving at 5.30am from Nottingham – driven there by my Dad
    Sonic the Hedgehog everywhere, even the pit girls
    The cold, and constant drizzle
    Felt busy at the time, but on […]

    I would have been 20. I was at Nottingham Polytechnic as it was then, and Dad lived in Lincolnshire so the whole F1 circus was really local. I seem to remember tickets being about 30 quid for the race day, but I […]

    @Rachael.

    Yes, I can confirm that it seems Nagoya is the way to go. My friend in Tokyo researched all the local hotels around Suzuka herself and found nothing much available so Nagoya is where we are staying. […]

    Hi Rachael. Great to hear you are touring Japan – I am sure you will have a great time.

    We have not booked our hotel yet however my friend who lives in Japan is under the impression that Nagoya is going to be […]

    I am at Suzuka this year in grandstand G1, the upside of which being affordability and the fact that it is on 130r, the downside being there are no screens at that location. I was banking on Fanvision when I […]

    Thanks for that Garns – any insight over the coming 6 months through this thread will be helpful to everyone for this and future years.

    I understand that although there are not General Admission areas, there […]

    Yep, tickets ordered through BookF1, who seem to know their stuff. My first time to Suzuka, although I did used to live in Japan for a spell back in the day. Not been there for a good ten years though so am […]

    Thank you for saying so. My third Grand Prix (Donington 1993, Silverstone 2009) but my first with a decent camera. Need a longer lens though, and I have loads to learn – I shot about 1200 pictures over the 3 […]

    Toni,

    Thanks very much for your clear and informed advice which is what I was hoping to hear. I can put the camping money into a Fanvision TV instead and we will all be set.

    Best wishes, and thanks again.

    Hey there – first post on the site and it’s great to meet you all, as it were.
