This year I sat in Grandstand 11 halfway up in Section 4, and had this excellent view.

Last year I sat inside the Hairpin in Grandstand 34. While Grandstand 34 was cheaper, I thought Grandstand 11 was worth the extra money. The highlight of the weekend was seeing the drivers negotiate the Senna Curves (Turn 1 & 2) through the constantly changing weather conditions. Lots of drivers were finding the limit and making mistakes through these corners throughout practice. Another bonus of sitting in either grandstand 11 or 12 is that you get full access to the entire track, where tickets for seats in the hairpin and only get you access to that end of the track. This gets you access to non grandstand areas outside of the senna curves, along the pit straight, and along the casino straight before the final chicane. I even managed to sneak into Grandstand 2 before the start of the race to get a view of the pits and prerace activities. I would say these seats (Grandstand 1 &2) do not appear to be worth their high price as you only get to see the cars on the straight for about 2-3 seconds per lap. You get an excellent view of the pits, but a poor view of the track. Where in Granstand 34 you get about 10 seconds per lap, and in Granstand 11 you get about 11-12 seconds per lap.11th June 2013, 1:31 at 1:31 am #216218xlr8rParticipantHere are my best photos from the weekend
