Im hoping me and the mrs and our 3 kids can all attend this year – thinking of doing 10 days in Dubai. But I have a few questions:
1. Are we better of a hiring a car to get between Dubai and the circuit?
2. When do people think tickets will go on sale?
3. Finally as, were flying out a week before, where best are we getting tickets from, as I’ve heard previously they only ship them a week before the raceTo Tilke
Please note in all future circuit designs, please ensure there are no revolving doors to access paddock buildings
Thanks, Bernie
Yep such a shame. Really wanted to take my 3 kids but priced out of it. Took them to Barcelona in May: 3 day ticket for me and two of my kids including parking £120. Even after flights and a week all in-clusive still cheaper than the British Grand Prix and camping in a field
Thought I would share this although still cheaper to go to Barcelona for me :( http://www.dealmonster.co.uk/deal/travel/british-grand-prix-ticket? Hope it’s of use for someone
I did last year Louise and it I remember it was fairly late, I remember worrying and phoned them and then postman knocked. If your worried ring them and ask if they can give you a date
Went last year to both the morning and afternoon sessions. You only have access to the pit lane. Thursday morning was quiet although the drives didn’t appear to be coming out purposefully to do autographs as they do in the afternoon. Having said that I got more in the morning than I did in the afternoon, that was just crazy with the number of fans there and was a real bun fight.
I’m going again this year but just in the morning. I preferred watching and meeting team mechanics as they set up. Got close to some bits of kit – front wings etc that were lying around as they made space. Had some great and informative chats with Mclarenmechanics who I think they liked us showing an interest rather than just asking for the drivers.
Last year I stayed in Blames on the coast which is closer to Gerona than Barcelona. We drove in each day, total journey time 40mins – that included getting out of circuit car park. Really well organised and fantastic road network. This year I’m staying in Calella which is again on the coast. Highly recommend the Costa Brava, it’s out of season so some real cheap bargains. Ive paid £230 for 3 of us All Inclusive for a week.
@ Steved1976 I’ve used travelrepublic, (sounds weird I know) but its the second year I have used them, I’ve got my tickets in hand already. They send them out special delivery and this year I found them cheaper than if I bought direct fromthe circuit and chose to collect in person.
Agree with Chris C. Look at the Costa Brava, cheap that time of year, beaches, and easy drive to circuit.
Easyjet currently have a sale on, managed to get return flights from Gatwick for just over £50. Combine them with a cheap hotel for £100 for the week (me and the two kids) on the Costa Brava and I’ve got another fantastic week of sun & F1
I’ve just booked my flights for the second year running. Last year was fantastic from the pit walks Thursday right through to the Sundays. I found the the Thursday pit walk far better than the afternoon, it was far less busy and we got to meet a number of drivers with ease, as they prepared to walk the circuit. Driving to the circuit was easy – take note Silverstone. Sundays was the worse post race – 1/2hr at most before we were on free flowing motorway. This I noticed your race ticket also gets you free entry to the international motor Show for those with a day or so spare. Also consider staying on the Costa Brava – far cheaper than Barcelona
Same @Dbott The idea’s of sitting in the rain dosn’t sound great. Were flying out Wednesday. and apart from Sunday the weather looks great, lets hope it holds off.
Anyone any reccomendations where to sit within GA
