Hope you don't mind me creating this Thread. Did have a look to see if anything had already been created.
Have you been to a Formula 1 Race?
I have been to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, about four times. One of the times that I went was in 2009. Jenson Button Won the Drivers Championship with Brawn. In that Team was ex Ferrari people Ross Brawn, and Rubens Barrichello. I have also been to Silverstone on a Circuit Tour, and also went just before one Christmas. During the evening, people drove around part of the Circuit (you had to drive at a Maximum Speed of 20 mph, I think it was). You drove past illuminated scenes of Christmas from around the World, it was Brilliant. I have also visited with someone who was doing a Track Experience Day.
I have been to the French Grand Prix at Magny Cours. The view we had was Fantastic, thought it was a Great Circuit. They don't Race there now, I believe. They now Race at the Paul Riccsrd Circuit?
In 2000, I went to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. This was the First Time that I had been to a Formula One Race, Live. The Noise and Speed was something else, different to watching it on TV. My Friend and I were stood alongside the straight, before the sweeping right hand bend that went towards the Finishing line. We were stood in the centre of the Ferrari supporters, we did stand out a bit, as we had bought Jordan t shirts and caps. I had a Jordan Jarno Trulli baseball cap. Had a soft spot for the Jordan Team at the time. This was the Race where there was a massive crash on the first lap. A Circuit Marshall had tragically lost his life during this Race.
A Circuit I haven't been to, but technically seen from a Bus, was the Circuit in Montreal, Canada. I was on Holiday in Canada, did a Bus Tour of Montreal. We drove past the circuit.
