GPUpdate

This is the experience of Robin Drooger from The Netherlands

Circuit:Barcelona
Year:2001
How did you go to the Grand Prix?By airplaine from Amsterdam to Barcelona. From there we took the bus.

Where did you stay?In a hotel in a relatively small town near Circuit the Catalunya.

How was the transportation from your accomodation to the circuit?By bus (all-in). The traffic was hell, but we arrived on time.

Was it easy to get to the circuit?It was not, but the travel agency did not take any risks so we left very early.

What kind of tickets did you have?Right on the pit straigt oppose to the Arrows box.

Why would you encourage or discourage people to take these tickets?If you love the sound, the pit straigt is the place to be. Spain has a very long straigt so the engine sounds are overwhelming. Of cource the price is a little steep.

Why should people go to this GP?To see a good race for one. Furthermore: Barcelona is a great city, especially when you like paella!

Why shouldn't people go to this GP?If you go by plain: take the monday flight back! We left sunday evening and almost missed our flight. Luckily our busdriver took death-risks to get us there in time.
