Has anyone in previous years made the trip to Spain etc to watch F1 winter testing ? Are spectator tickets available ? Thanks.

yes you get spectators at most if not all spanish tests, fairly limited choice of seats tho, normally limited to one or two 'blocks' around the tracks. arrive and get tickets afaik, don't believe you need to book in advance. there's a test at jerez this week but calendar hasn't been finalised for next year as they're still discussing a reduction in testing mileage.

I was there yesterday!

No queues, no traffic, no need to book and it only costs 5€ to get in. Don't expect much though, as mentioned they tend to only open three all four stands and you only get to see the last third of the circuit really. McLaren, Renault, Ferrari, Red Bull, BMW and Williams were all there

Still, dead cheap way to get to see the new cars (although only BMW seemed to be running anything remotely new looking)
