Anyone done the Spanish GP?
Discussion
Hi everyone,
So I am working in Madrid at the moment and I will be out here the weekend of the Barcelona GP which I was planning to do with a couple of mates from here.
I have been to Silverstone, Le Mans etc before but nothing out here. I was hoping to drive over from here the Friday, get a grand stand seat and stay somewhere near to the circuit. Is anyone able to offer any advice? Is it worth driving in, or getting a coach? Should I be considering camping? Any companies I should look at in particular?
Cheers, Chris.

Chris,
I went there back in 2002. Spent a week in Barcelona, then got the train out to Montmelo. Circuit is about 15 mins walk from the station. Bit of a strange location, somewhere between the hills and the city, next to a characterless industrial estate I seem to remember. Still, I thought it was a good place to watch - we walked around the infield and it was great - much better then Silverstone IMO (and I am a big fan of Silverstone, having been going there for the past 38 years). I seem to remember the approach to the Repsol Curve (turn 4) was good, as was the sequence of the next few corners (turns 5, 6, & 7). I'm assuming it hasn't changed much since '02 of course.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Garth.
