T3 La Chapelle Grandstand

[ajsell]

Has anyone sat in T3 La Chapelle Grandstand? What do you think?
They are still available from the ACO.

I have not sat in this Grandstand but sat in one slightly further round the circuit last year - this was called Tribune 1. The distance is not a great deal though and having stood underneath T3 last year thinking about whether I had bought the right Grandstand ticket I came to the conclusion that whilst I was happy with my choice, T3 would not have been bad either.

T1 may be made available again nearer the race date but it will be so close to the date that there will not be time to have the ticket posted and you have to drive or walk a fair few miles to a ticket office outside the circuit, which if I'm honest was a bit if a pain.

So this year I have just bought a Ticket for T3 in order that I can have it posted to me and leave me with no need to go and find where to collect it from.

Having used their virtual view from T3 I think I will be happy with the view. It covers the cars coming down from the Dunlop Bridge and has a big screen opposite. Importantly, it covers you if it rains.

I bought mine straight from the ACO, as I have my camping pass but will buy the circuit ticket there as I have friends who are ACO members and they will get me the circuit ticket a little cheaper. Circuit tickets won't run out you see.

I hope this helps.
