T110's Northern Migration

The_Chieftain:     Although WG has looked into F1 as a business move (We have sponsored other sports teams including racing, after all), it's just way too much money. I'll be going in my capacity as an F1 fan. I've been to F1 races in Budapest, Monza, and Indianapolis so far.   Generally speaking, I've found the US GPs to be some of the cheapest F1 races going. Relative term, I know. But still. The crowds aren't bad, especially if the circuit is switched on with regards the parking system, and CotA is a new track which should have good parking. (Indianapolis, instead, did an excellent bus shuttle from the city center). However, frankly, if you're going to go for an F1 race, you're going -for- the crowd: You get to watch the race far better on a TV screen at home!   The problem I have is that at Budapest, I was a guest of Ferrari, and we watched the race from their VIP section just above the pit. I'll dig up some photos I have at home, but basically I took photos of the pit stops from about 20 feet up, and three feet to the side.  Combine with the VIP parking, the free, excellent food, it has just spoiled me for any F1 races I ever go to again in the future. I'm hoping to wrangle a McLaren pit pass this time around, we'll see.
