Ear plugs. It's really loud.

Ignore him Ian....don't wear earplugs!

You might as well watch it on telly. If you come away without your ears ringing for a few hours, you haven't been to a GP!

That's actually very good advice for me Lee, I always forget that kind of thing.

Anyone know the circuit? Is it likely to be a good opportunity for photography? I don't want to lug the heavy kit there if I won't have an opportunity to use it

From what I have read it seems well designed for spectators, so it may be good

Although I'm not sure if we'll be in one of the "VIP towers". Will have to check

I've not been but a friend of mine has and he suggested that it is worth watching the cars go through turn 8 - the fast quadruple apex left hander - at least in practice.

Others, for the race, the overtaking spots at turn 1 or the 12/13/14 complex at the end of the lap...
