"Collecting" F1 Races

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

I've kind of set my stall out to visit all the F1 races at one time or another. (I know they come & go....it doesn't need to be that scientific )

Anybody on here done a majority?

I've "collected" Donington, Silverstone, Sepang, Valencia, Nurburgring, Montreal, Abu Dhabi & last week Monza.

I tried to go to the classic venues as I saw them so I've done Silverstone, Spa, Monza, Monaco and Imola. I would very much like to tick off Suzuka, Montreal and Interlagos at some point too!

[pozi]

I have been to pretty much all of them, but then it does help working in F1.

Guess that means I can't play this game.....??

Who's old enough to have done Brands Hatch then ?

1986 was the final year.

I went.

Have also done Silverstone 87 and Monza 2008.

Didn't pay for 87 as i won a ticket in a competition....

Just missed Brands 86, first race I went to was Silverstone 87.

Also been to Spa, Kuala Lumpur and Austin. Love to do Suzuka someday.

I was thinking there'd be some F1 bods on here!

Deatails man? That's awesome, I bet you never once felt like ringing in sick

[tobinen]

I've not been too active but I am wanting to go to more.

So far only Singapore 2011 and Silverstone this year. Saw qualifying at Long Beach 1978 but that probably doesn't count

Sorry to wreck the F1 image but it sounds a lot more glamourous than it actually is, the hours are ludicrous, lots of time away from home which is hard if you have kids, bored hours spent at airports, hotels etc.

There are some fun times, wins or even podiums all make it seem worthwhile, until the next time it is 4 AM and the car is still in bits anyway....

Who do you work for then? do you have the fun times a lot!

I went to Monaco this year and although the race was as crap as ever the atmosphere and location was great.
They also had the cleanest loos I've ever seen at a race meeting!

I've been to Silverstone, Monza and Monaco.

^ Well that rules out Marussia and caterham. I'd say probably not Red Bull or McLaren, either.

I'd guess at Williams, Force India, Mercedes or Lotus Renault.

Usually wrong, so expect to be with this

My one and only F1 race was the 1975 Race of Champions at Brands Hatch
