This is the experience of Sarj from United Kingdom

Circuit:	Barcelona
Year:	2001
How did you go to the Grand Prix?	Flew to Barcelona, and then got the airbus to the Ramblas, a very easy journey.

Where did you stay?	Just off the ramblas, in a hostel. Was reasonably cheap, and located virtually on the Ramblas.

How was the transportation from your accomodation to the circuit?	Very good and very cheap!! It wasnt such a long train ride either, the hardest bits were making sure u got the right train, and that it actually stopped at montmelo! Another akward thing was finding the right station in barcelona to get the train that actually heads to montmelo, there are 5 stations of the same name, but only one of the entrances takes u to the train u need, which was awkward to find. Can give u more info if u want, email me.

Was it easy to get to the circuit?	An easy and pleasnt walk to the circuit. Slightly uphill as u get nearer to the track but nice.

What kind of tickets did you have?	grandstand tickets for all three day, on grandstand D (ooposite the pits.)

Why would you encourage or discourage people to take these tickets?	Excellent tickets for a 1st time grand-prix visit!! Definately a great place to see the start of the race, and the pitstops, but the cars whizz past so fast u dont get to see any real overtaking from here, for that u need tickets at the end of the straight on grandstand F or somewhere like that.

Why should people go to this GP?	Super weather, nice people, great city nearby, cheap tickets, excellent viweing of the circuit.

Why shouldn't people go to this GP?	no reason, unless they've got tickets already for somewhere else :-)
