Is anyone up for a meet/drink at the event?

Perhaps on Friday when it's quieter?

Will you marshalls be able to meet up with everyone at a certain time, or busy the whole 3 days?

Not too sure yet Mattt. All will become clearer on Saturday when we start our training. I do know that no beverages will be allowed in the Yas accommodation during the event so there is a fair chance for a meet!

I assume beverages will be allowed at the track? A friend reckoned it would be dry, but I doubt it.

Support Pit looks fairly central for us all then, or maybe over towards the Marina (depending on what's open).

Also just read that with the 3 day ticket, you can visit on the Thursday and walk down the pit straight to see the activity in garages etc. Sounds good!!

Yep we'll be there but because we're on FOM gratis tickets they're general admission only (alright so we do get a pit lane and garage tour) but no grandstand.

FOM?

I didn't know there was General Admission - thought it was Grandstand only!

Craig, if you PM me your local mobile number we'll give you a call when we travel up from Oman, we'll be staying with our old neighbours who have a villa close to the circuit.
