Dont do Italy! Spa isnt much better for spectating. I say do Hockenheim. I am probably doing the German GP next year...a friend suggested Abu Dhabi but not sure.

If you want to do an OS race then I strongly recommend Malaysian GP. KL is a great city to play up in with a few friends, the GP tickets are pretty cheap and you can a great view of the circuit...many, many corners. Win win...and you can do it all in a 4 day weekend :thumbsup:

Depends what you are shopping for I guess? Pay off a local taxi driver to be your driver for the trip, throw him a retainer and he will be happy to follow you around. Considering Sat-Sun is GP, and its about an 8hr flight, you will be hard pressed to do any shopping unless you get an late Monday/overnight flight home. Then I suppose you can shop Monday.

The main thing is the big Fri/Sat night with great food and beers/laughs. Go to the right part of town and the local pubs are good fun with a good mix of people. Just have to put up with the chain smokers at the pool tables :)

But is Abu Dhabi any different to Dubai? Not sure the circuit is all that good for spectating as long straights with slow corners? The V8s being there will help, and maybe if its a couples get away but not sure its the sort of city you can have too many laughs. The quad bikes in the dunes is fun though

If you're going to see a GP in person, at the very least go to somewhere where the race is decent.

If you're watching it on TV and would prefer to be pulling your dick, chances you will probably be making your way to the portaloos circa lap 5.

dubai's a little up the road from abu dhabi, abu dhabi looks more touristy (more bars and restaurants ect).

i'm not sure about the track either but it's a part of the world i have all ways wanted to see that's why i want to go there, i think between ferrari world + racing + a day in the dunes + some time to check out dubai there won't be

any days left from a week.

if i went to the italy gp i'd stay alot longer than 7 days, you'd need to drag me away from those pizzerias kicking and screaming. :starwars:

Spa has been added to the start of my Euro Trip, working my contact for a Team pass with someone

don't think i will pull off the Italian GP as well, going to be hanging around Germany for September (Octoberfest and FIA GT at Hockenheim)

damm you, id give a liver (if a had a good one left) to go to spa.

Yeh, I am in Spa in March...dont think I will be back that late in the year so German GP or one of the Spanish races. Spain may not be the greatest race spectacles but as far as a destination and some fun imagine it will be pretty good. Would love to do Silverstone but fark going back to the UK :)

Spa has a few good spots to spectate but not much cover.:( So when (if) it rains make sure you have some wet weather kit. My pick of seats would be the downhill section after Bruxelles. A lot of the spectating points dont have stands so general admission tickets are an option...you just have to fight all the campers :) But if you have a pit pass you probably wont leave the start/finish area :)

Someone should start a thread for OS F1 races in case a number of people are going. I am getting a car inspected next Wednesday so may have already sorted a car for the next European summer :)

But if you have a pit pass you probably wont leave the start/finish area :)

Thats what I'll be working towards :whistling:

Already sorted full factory team passes for Le Mans (not sure if i can make the race :( ) and the Hockenheim FIA GT round.

Unfortunately the Automotive group that contract my company aren't in F1 :(

All that means is I have 9 months to get a contact in a F1 team :devil:

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
