I know this is just a drop in the ocean but does this include car parking? Not that i would want to sit in the middle of a straight anyway.

I remember some of the planning for the Birmingham Superprix. The logistics involved were huge. Including the complete reworking of most of the road surface to make it even reasonable to drive at speed over. I remember the City engineers proudly boasting that it was the best /smoothest/ most even surface they had ever put down (even then driver complained how bumpy it was !)

Remember the 2013 Grand Prix of New York (in New Jersey)?

That turned out well, didn't it...

Let's hope not, it'll be a st racd just like every other street tracks.

International Pits Straight is £625. THAT'S SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY fkING FIVE POUNDS. Robbin' bds!

Is that in line with other GP pit straight prices? I haven't been to a race for a few years but that's a lot more than I paid.

Not sure about other GPs but one for Le Mans will only set you back no more than £112, or £4.66/hr vs. £416.66/hr for the British GP.

Gold 3 at Spa (top of Radillon overlooking Eau Rouge) €480 for the weekend. I know which view I'd prefer.

£625 seems expensive. We got two weekend tickets for Copse C including camping at Woodlands for £480ish this year?

I'm going to the German grand prix this year which cost less than £400 including a grandstand seat, travel there and back and hotel etc.

British GP seems very expensive!

The way things are going, F1 may abandon the UK within a few years - so your prediction may well come true.

The way things are going F1 will operate mostly outside Europe on identikit Tilke-designed circuits with races consisting of crap sounding cars and only available on pay TV. It'll be easily forgotten.
