I went last year, and it was a nice experience, but I don't plan on going again this year.

I guess the nicest thing is hearing the engines scream LIVE and watching the car straight with your onw eyes.

What sucks is that you can't really follow the race very well. You just sit on one corner and see the cars passing through.

But the experience is nice. I took some short mpeg clips of the cars, and once in a while I played them back just to hear the engine sound.. it never fails to bring a big smile to my face.

I have been to F1 last year. I took 11 rolls of films. It is the best racing experience I have ever had in my life. I have tickets this year. but, I don't know am I going to go or not. I havn't reserve any hotels yet. I know this is going to bite me.

anyway, I have posted it before. I have all the pictures scanned and hosted. You can see the pictures @

Enjoy.

I've thought a lot about the difference between being at a race and just watching it on the tube. I will say that I think that Speedvision does a fantastic job and the host country's TV stations really know how, and where to place the camaras to get the best shot. All that being said, " being there would be so cool!"

chipster, if you haven't been before...well...you gotta experience it at least once in your life, and from then on, you'll be hooked. the sound will ring through head for years to come.
