I'm thinking of spending a few days in Barcelona towards the end of February and while I'm there get a bit of an F1 fix before march. With (I believe?) only 6 days testing next season it should mean quite a few teams there. Did anyone go this year? If so can you just pay on the day or did you have to pre book?

I was there day one last year. You can just turn up and pay on the gate, but if you want he guided tour, you will need to book waaaaayyy in advance.

It was about €9 IIRC to get in. Food was expensive hot dogs. Was not that busy, but was very good to see the new cars up close. Fly in to Girona with Ryanair and hire a car. It's about an hour or so from Girona and car hire is super cheap over there.

I'm thinking of going again myself. Does anyone know what the dates will be for practise? The season seems to be starting earlier next year.

Barcalona dates are Wednesday 24th - 26th February. Dates are listed on the circuit calander. cheap prices on expedia at the minute so i'll probably try and stay in central Barcalona and take in some of the sites. I went to the gp there in 2000 and seem to remember the train not taking too long and stoping near the track.
