Judging by last year you will have the place to yourself (apart from the teams)

Well, it is in bahrain, flights from Newcastle are £400 or so return. You got to fly to Dubai first and then fly back to bahrain, atleast with emirates anyhow. Not going to fly bastard airways. Don't know about accomodation yet, or getting out to the track, but i think that there is a hotel out there.. but would need to get from the airport out to the track/hotel.

Hey Bo55, what deal can ya do? Do you guys fly out that way?

Hopefully there'll be a party from here going (Saudi)...maybe 5 or 6 from Dhahran & two of us from Tabuk...the paddock pass is very the one to get...didn't make it last year but was priced at BD250 (GBP300) for the 3 days & I think includes food & drink - hope to get there this year & would be good to meet up with anyone from on this site who's going!

£300 for BA out of Heathrow

Hi guys, I am going to go to V8's in Bahrain, will be travelling over from Riyadh, not sorted the tickets or accomodation out yet. I phoned up about hotels last week, I usually stop at the Ramada in Manama, but it is fully booked, and everywhere else seem to have doubled the prices for that weekend.
Also, you don't seem to be able to book tickets on-lin anymore. You have to goto the Seef Mall in Manama, where they have a stand, or phone them up. I guess that is the preferable choice.
