This is the experience of Nigel D'Rosario from England
| Circuit: | Barcelona |
| Year: | 2005 |
| How did you go to the Grand Prix? | On the Page & Moy 5 night tour by coach to Spain. |
| Where did you stay? | Blanes, just outside of Barcelona, and about 45MINS coach ride from the circuit |
| How was the transportation from your accomodation to the circuit? | Brilliant. Lot's of friendly and enthusiastic fans to talk to on the way, and one of the tour reps told stories of his amateur racing career, of Formula One past and present, and of any relevant info for the grand prix you are visiting - e.g.BAR ban |
| Was it easy to get to the circuit? | Just turn up for the coach on time and get on! |
| What kind of tickets did you have? | 3-DAY General Admission |
| Why would you encourage or discourage people to take these tickets? | This year, and I think also a few times in the past, the circuit owners opened up the pit lane on thursday to spectators for a walkabout that had purchased a three-day ticket, or I think, a Grandstand ticket. As for the tickets themselves, you get to go to all sorts of interesting positions, get into the grandstands anyway on Thurs/Fri, and better enjoy the whole atmosphere of the race. |
| Why should people go to this GP? | Spanish fans definitely have a fervour for the Grand Prix now that Alonso is more successful. |
| Why shouldn't people go to this GP? | If you are crazy and stupid |
