Thumbs up Best F1 Group Tours?

Last year I went with Grand Prix Tours to the Belgian Grand Prix. The visit to the Michael Schumacher Karting Centre was great fun and the first night dinner with hosts from Speed Channel was entertaining, but otherwise I felt like their service and group tour package was mediocre.

This year I'm considering either Singapore, Hungary or Italy for F1 trips. Although Grand Prix Tours offers an Italian Extravaganza, I'm a little shy about using them again.

Anyone had good experiences with an F1 group tour package? Please post your experiences (plus any links) here!

Thanks!

Cheers,
Diane

Are you only looking at F1 races? Or are you also interested in Le Mans, Classic Le Mans, and the NS & Spa 24hr races?

did you do the VIP lounge thing? i'd recommend Singapore since there are so much more you can do (by yourself) and many Singaporeans speak English so you won't get lost that easily. Belgium is a bore, i mean my god i was there 3 years ago and i saw the EU, i browsed down town, had some bread and coffee, and decided to fly out to London early cuz it was so boring.

Actually I stayed in Aachen, I also rented an A-Class Mercedes so I had fun. :-)

I just think Grand Prix Tours could have offered more activities...it felt like we were being dumped at the track all weekend.
