GPUpdate

This is the experience of Rui Cordeiro from Portugal

Circuit:Estoril
Year:1994
How did you go to the Grand Prix?I went in 1984 by train, bus, hitch hiking and by foot. It was the 1st year of F1 in Estoril.

Where did you stay?it doesn't matter. what matters is that I saw Senna in Toleman finish 3rd in a fabulous race.

How was the transportation from your accomodation to the circuit?and I also saw Niki Lauda overtake the championship to Prost by only half a point, despite Alain's victory.

Was it easy to get to the circuit?in the circuit I stayed in the area where I could see the first 3 corners.

What kind of tickets did you have?3 day package. At the end of the race I went to the paddock and I brought home the autographs of Piquet and Lauda.

Why would you encourage or discourage people to take these tickets?each one have to make his own choices. my wife, for instances, just couldn't stand the noise of F1 engines.

Why should people go to this GP?now they can't go anymore. I hpe that someday F1 will return to Portugal. We miss the thrill of it all.

Why shouldn't people go to this GP?only if the portuguese government and the FIA ruling body don't agree to give Estoril another chance.
