I'm reading through these ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) for hints and tips but have also already done a bit of planning and would like some constructive feedback... a reality check if you will...

Tues 24th May -late night tunnel to Calais, bunk up in the F1 hotel
Wednesday - long drive to Sospel (campsite north of Monaco) - via Reims, and Grenoble... not Paris.
Thursday - mucking about in the French hills, D21, N85, Col Turni, maybe go to the beach.
Friday - check out the support races in Monte Carlo.
Saturday - St Tropez and back via some good beaches and the coast road.
Sunday - watch the race and afterwards head to Dalmine in Italy via Milan.
Monday - Dalmine - Stelvio, Chur, Andermatt, Furka, Klausen pass ending up in Lucerne
Tuesday - Lucerne to Calais via Black Forest.
Wednesday 1.22am tunnel back and in bed by 3am.

doable?

My tunnel crossings are booked so the start and end points and times are set in stone.
I'm going to have to miss the after party sadly...
It was always more about the drive and hopefully the sun and sand, as opposed to the GP experience..

That Alpine pass website is very helpful!

If you'e using the autoroutes in France and you're on your own you may want to consider a toll tag rather than all the hassle of being on the wrong side of the car for all the toll booths, assuming a RHD car of course.
