Anyone Going To The Japanese F1 Gp On Oct 8th?

[shiro240]

This will be the last F1 race at Suzuka and is also meaningful, as the driver's championship has yet to be won thus far. Is anyone on this board planning to go? If so, how much were tickets and where did you go to get them?

Thanks!

Promotion has been building up for the GP this weekend as I've seen adverts all over the rail cars I ride to work. This past weekend in Tokyo, I noticed both a Williams Cosworth and a Toyota Panasonic car on display at different major locations in the city. The latter, stationed at Harajuku, was at a KDDI store which was converted in to a Toyota F1 GP headquarters with some sort of Suzuka race simulator, free Toyota F1 gear, and the chance to sit inside a real grand prix car. Knowing I'll probably never have this chance again, I had to try it out. Besides the fact the seat felt like it was molded for Cristiano de Matta, I think it actually fit me quite well.

Back on subject...

For anyone in the Tokyo area not going to the race this weekend, are there any suggestions about where to watch in a bar or pub? I am still lacking a TV and I may have to work part of Sunday.
