A Gold ticket for Eau Rouge only costs 40 euro for the Friday. Got very excited when I heard this only to find out that I have to attend to a wedding of my best friends sister... Damn

Like I said, my best friends sister. F1 is very important for me but my friends are above that. If I wouldn't have been to Hockenheim things might be different.

Meant to add that at Silverstone, when we returned to the camp-site on Friday evening, this was on a plot a few rows along from us. Poor sod.

Awesome! I've entered a competition to be a reporter there but I doubt I'll win!

Anyway, hope no-one has used this company:

Have you received them dangerously in the past?

I didn't get them for Spa 2007. Some last minute anger meant they arrived on Thursday afternoon, although the tickets were booked back in February.

Couldn't complain much though as we sat opposite to the McLaren and Ferrari pit. That said, I'm looking forward to sitting either at Les Combes or inside Rivage this time by. Other suggestions with Bronze Tickets?

Pouhon is exellent, it's almost like a grandstand only without the seats. On raceday I was at the Busstop, also a great view but already very busy in the early morning. Both spots with tv screen.

If you're there the whole weekend, get down to Eau Rouge. If you're feeling brave, climb the fence for some awesome photos. Just try not to cause a red flag.

Kemmel Straight is also good, nicely banked so you can get photos without debris fence in the way.

Inside of Rivage lets you get to see the drivers working the wheel.

Pouhon is an amazing place to watch from (Glorfindel and I watched the 2010 race from the entry to Pouhon). Big screen, big crowds and big speed!

what is the best stand to watch the monaco gp from? Especially photo opportunities but also an interesting corner if possible.

I sat at the harbour (P stand if I remember well). Quite a good section, but you sat quite a long way from the actual track and the cars disappeared in front of the guardrail for quite a while.

edit: Anthony Noghes interests me.

The Swimming Pool grandstand is pretty good.

Grandstand 'O' was pretty good. I'd avoid the general admission on the outside of Tabac. Very limited view there (only benefit is the drivers walk past you if they retire at the chicane!). Not sure about any of the other grandstands. Ste Devote would probably be a great place to watch the start of the race.

Some photos I took when I went, here (if it works)

So, another year has started! I was looking forward to visit the Nurburgring again since I left the track in 2011. Last rumours tell that it's most likely that there won't be a German GP in the Eiffel this year. Question is, will there be a German GP at all? So, I don't know where I'm going this year, last couple of years I had ordered my tickets back in December. Perhaps Spa this year? Who else is going?

F1 Test Barcelona, Spanish Grand Prix and.... used to go to Spa every year but always same sh&t with traffic, roads, locals and hotels so we decided to spent our money elsewhere. Maybe Monza or so :)

Spa, forgot to buy my tickets last month so I'll probably have to buy them full price now.

F1 test at Barcelona 1st weekend of March and Spa and if Nurburgring somehow makes it on the calendar, I'm going as well ;)

Not going to Hockenheim anymore, too much of a trip and the past 2 or 3 venues I came home disappointed, so meh...
