2012 Season, what GP are you planning to attend?

[Thomas Dougherty]

Was going to say the New Jersey GP, then I found out it's going to be in 2013

But I think you guys could help me out a bit. If I were to attend, what are good corners to get seats at generally? The first turn seems to be pretty exciting for most race tracks. Or should I get tickets near a chicane? Help a new guy out.

I'd like to go to texas this year, I dunno where to sit though, thinking maybe on top of turn one since it seems to be the high point of the track

Aim for a part of the track where you can see a large section, i was at Stowe in 2011 at Silverstone, i could see them come all the way down a long straight, come through a fast corner, down another downhill section and into a slow chicane.

2012 i'm going to be at the last corner which is Club, i can see the cars fly through stowe, come down the downhill, through vale's slow chicane, around the last corner and all the way down the start and finish straight, plus i get to watch the cars start off the grid and see if i can spot Schumacher getting out of his car at the start!

All in all i reccomend somewhere with alot of viewable area's near it, also one with a screen near it.

Maggotts Becketts complex ought to be a good place, not many tracks in the world where you see the true potential of an F1 car changing direction at a total of 9G. (5g-4g)

Copse must be great aswell, seeing F1 cars take a 90 degree bend like it´s nothing.

Indeed, and if you are in the right stand, you can see over to the stadium section too, so you see them twice per lap - good value for money

That´s right, for a moment i forgot completely the new layout

 

[António da Cunha]

I was going to attend Silverstone this year. But plans changed and it seems I am not going anywhere this year. Since I am going to live to Colombia in the end of June for a year due to work.

 

[Dan Smith]

The closest I'll be getting the tracks are on my sofa unfortunately but I'll have my trusty laptop at hand to keep track of the telemetry!

 

[Sean Linville]

I am most likely going to the Texas race if plans don't fall through with a buddy of mine. It'll be my first race and I have my fingers crossed that I can get to a good grandstand. I don't know if I want to sit at turn 1 or turn 20. I know this is a repeat question from Thomas, but where would you guys sit at that track?

 

[Niel Hekkens]

I don't go to the F1. It's too overpriced imho.
I'd rather go to GT1 or WEC/LMS.

 

[Ryan Hayes]

Spa i didnt think i'd get the chance to see kimi at spa (a track he loves) so im taking the opportunity with both hands

 

[Chris Jenkins]

None!
Far too expensive

 

[Ryan Hayes]

that's why I'm not going to the British GP! it will work out cheaper to go to Belgium! because of all the "Hamilton-mania" they think they can take the proverbial with the prices

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I don't agree with Silverstone selling next year's GP tickets on the sunday of the current year's race at a cheaper price.
Basically all of the best seats are gone with 365 days until the next race
