    Formula 1 Race Circuits you have been to.

    Hope you don't mind me creating this Thread. Did have a look to see if anything had already been created.
    Have you been to a Formula 1 Race?

    I have been to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, about four times. One of the times that I went was in 2009. Jenson Button Won the Drivers Championship with Brawn. In that Team was ex Ferrari people Ross Brawn, and Rubens Barrichello. I have also been to Silverstone on a Circuit Tour, and also went just before one Christmas. During the evening, people drove around part of the Circuit (you had to drive at a Maximum Speed of 20 mph, I think it was). You drove past illuminated scenes of Christmas from around the World, it was Brilliant. I have also visited with someone who was doing a Track Experience Day.
    I have been to the French Grand Prix at Magny Cours. The view we had was Fantastic, thought it was a Great Circuit. They don't Race there now, I believe. They now Race at the Paul Riccsrd Circuit?
    In 2000, I went to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. This was the First Time that I had been to a Formula One Race, Live. The Noise and Speed was something else, different to watching it on TV. My Friend and I were stood alongside the straight, before the sweeping right hand bend that went towards the Finishing line. We were stood in the centre of the Ferrari supporters, we did stand out a bit, as we had bought Jordan t shirts and caps. I had a Jordan Jarno Trulli baseball cap. Had a soft spot for the Jordan Team at the time. This was the Race where there was a massive crash on the first lap. A Circuit Marshall had tragically lost his life during this Race.
    A Circuit I haven't been to, but technically seen from a Bus, was the Circuit in Montreal, Canada. I was on Holiday in Canada, did a Bus Tour of Montreal. We drove past the circuit.
    The good times WILL return, and FERever.

    Interviewer: “The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you?”
    Kimi: “It protects my head.”

    It's not how start but how you finish.

    Well...
    I am going to Hungaroring every year since 1995. Been to Barcelona, and twice to Abu Dhabi.
    This year, apart from Hungaroring, I am going to Imola and Monza.
    Hope to see wins there

    Some Fantastic Circuit destinations, that people have gone to, to watch Formula One Racing. I would like to go to the Belgium Grand Prix, watch the Race from the Eau Rouge area of the Circuit. Here is a YouTube Video, of Mark Webber Qualifying for the Grand Prix in Belgium. Mark is Racing in one of my Favourite Williams cars, the BMW FW27.

    Monaco would be interesting. Would just go for the atmosphere, view the boats etc. As for the Race itself, been told there are only two places that cars can overtake?
    Came across a Formula One Holiday in the past. It was a two week trip, where you first went to Montreal to watch the Canadian Grand Prix. You then had a few days in New York City. Then you went onto Indianapolis, to watch the American Grand Prix. That trip would have been Fantastic.
    The good times WILL return, and FERever.

    For those of you have have been to Spa, how did you do it? Where did you stay? Where do you park your car?

    Seeing Kimi at Spa was on my bucket list. Clearly that will never happen but I’m hoping to still make it there in 2024. I would combine it with another country in Europe to make it a whole week or maybe a full week in Belgium, so I would rent a car and drive around, hens the question about parking. Also, do they let you walk the track after the race is over?
