Book accommodation now–most places quoting $250 per night plus, Days inn crossroads still at regular price. Not posh but if you are on a budget………..
Accommodation… mentioned last year that Xinci Hotel Shanghai only 0.3 km from track……..nice hotel but someone cant count !! four stops on the metro in Anting metro line 11. Still worth staying there, only 9 minutes away by metro.
Hi
Booked tickets through http://www.racing-china.com/new/f1/2011/default.htm Good service, price for delivery low and 100 wan food vouchers. Delivered to Canada in about a week. For what it`s worth after nearly booking B1-4 or B5-8…. glad i booked the main stand, undercover, good view and closer to amenities.
Should you be interested accommodation booked through http://www.china-discount-hotels.com/ positive experienceHi guys
So maybe next year you will go! I went this year very much `on the fly` and I have to say it was excellent.
A few thoughts
1) Use the metro if possible ,cheap,modern,easy to work out as they have an english option on machines, can be overcrowded but a damn sight safer than my taxi ride from hell from the airport to my hotel. Get a flight that arrives by 7 or 8 pm to ensure metro still operating.
2) Hotel choice == I stayed in Anting metro line 11, 4 stops past the track.On race day everyone is trying to get the metro into shanghai, much easier to be going slightly further out.
3) Ticket choice==I went for main stand upper level, very good. On race day stand was packed and the amount of people standing in the stairwells was a little annoying.
4)Had to invest in the kangaroo v as no reception on my radio. Will use kangaroo for all races from now on , well worth it. $89 3 days
Overall, apart from the lack of decent support races China really is an interesting race experience….the Chinese really getting into F1
