Default Seat suggestions for Indy F1 2007

I was looking at this

and was thinking that Corner 6 terrace would make a good spot to watch the race from. I also like section J and Corner 10 terrace followed by Northwest Vista. Those who have been what is your experience with seating and what do you think would make good seats?

Corner 10 terrace is nice. I hear the NW Vista are the best seats in the house. If you want shade (which is great to have) in trade for some track view, try to get towards the end of the front straight. We sat there this year and could see 4-6 corners and weren't sitting in the sun.

My personal favorite is high on H; IMHO these are the best seats of any for GP or Indy races for seeing the action. I like the NW terrace over Terrace 10, which is still pretty good. Actually any of those three can be quite good.

I sat at NW Vista for qulifying and Corner 10 for the race. I prefer NW Vista. You can see the front straight all the way through the twistiest part of the track.

Northwest Vista!
This is where I have sat every year but my 1st year, and I only sit there on race day, because all the other time it is just general admission and you can sit whereever. The first year I was there I wondered all over the place, and for me seeing cars come out of Pit Lane, or down the back straight and then through Turn 1, Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4, Turn 5 and Turn 6 is perfect.

Remember the year Ralf and Juan took each other out at turn 1 on the first lap? I watched it happen right there in front of me it was HILARIOUS

The only place you will get any action on this track (other than Michelin drivers blowing up tires and sliding into walls) is going to be turn 1. NW Vista or the corner 10 terrace is the place to be. NW Vista has one of the monitors setup in front of it as well so you get to see what is doing on the rest of the track. Do they setup a temporary one for the corner 10 terrace? J stand gets you a little closer to turn 1, but I don't think it's worth $20 more.

Honestly the best tickets are for qualifying. Go watch that and you'll see more overtaking than two full races at Indy.
