After some tips/ advice
Going GA this year have booked tickets and campsite! Would like to get an idea of prices once in circuit for food and drink esp beer! I have seen no alcohol to be taken in circuit does this mean it is a “dry” venue? Can we get beer inside! Also what do redbull lay on entertainment wise after race I would imagine there would be some. Other tips about GA would be helpful not first time at race or GA so know basics i.e. Early bird catches worm and folding chair etc. Advice much appreciated.
Vickiehi can someone advise on what can be taken into the circuit mainly drink ie alcolol. would like to avoid huge prices for beer etc x any other tips would be most apiciAted. we have a combination ticket i think its pit fri bay sat penang sun.
thanks
vickie xhi all
have completed day 1 of testing! can feedback what i found out!
1st and a biggy!
transport: get your self to montmelo station. from here you can catch the number 510 bus heading to granolles it costs 2.15 euros single. keep an eye out the windscreen for sori discau (spelt wrong) big supermarket chain depot or viena cafe (4/5mins)! cafe do paninis etc 3-6 good for breakfast. from here short walk uphill to gate 3 of circuit behind main grandstand x return trip from opp side of road! buses run approx every 30 mins
2. Yes they are searching bags for alcohol glass and tin.
3. beer in circuit is now stated as alcohol free. sml 4 euro, med 8 euro, lrg 11/12 euro. piggin rip off. soft drinks 3-4 euros can is opened for you! if you buy a bottle they keep the cap! so take tops with you to use.
thats all i can think of at moment any other questions etc that i can get answers for let me know im there till wed so can find out
hope this helps

🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎hi im heading out for the first 3 days of 1st test! i also have been out too jerez the last couple of years as well as barca gp last 4 years and i still have a couple of questions of my own.
1. where can i find out which drivers are testing each day?
2. i saw above about shuttle buses running from montmelo to circuit. i was under impression from barca tourism site there was none so if i could get more details that would be great.
3. last year the circuit went “dry” and were very strict and conferscating alcohol upon entry with bag searches etc. does anyone know if their more relaxed for testing!im flying return from liverpool £50 and staying on the coast all inc £95 bargin 🤗
help and advice on above much appricated x
Hey greg. I too am heading to the test! Was hoping to pick up some tips on traveling to circuit. Last year used a taxi! Would have thought would be more discussion on here’s!

Hey!
Personally I’m coping with planning my F1 jaunts for 2015! Starting with the 1st test in jerez in February. Need to plant that money tree in back garden as we’ll!
possible other option i will be looking into! apartently you cant cant watch iplayer or sky go outside of uk but i found a site that at a cost of £2.99 for a week to watch these abroad! i have a tablet and currently looking into a pay as go international sim or pick up one locally. people at work have said streaming live wont eat into credit as much as downloading. im hoping that the cost of streaming both qually and race at side of track will equal that of cost of FV. i plan to get advice from mobile phone shop here in uk! now whether or not signal strong enough to this is another matter will find out i guess durring qually. dont remember the site for iplayer/ sky go abroad but will post here along with ruff est of cost. will be lost without my fanvison at abroad races. silverstone not to bad as they have a great fm radio broadcast that served us long and hard for many years. i have been spoilt by FV.
