So I have been an F1 fan for years, being in America the access has been difficult. Now that I live in Boston I drove to Montreal for the race in June and I just bought GA tickets. Well the overall experience was great! Montreal is just a crazy party scene for the weekend. There are 458s, Veyron’s, Lambo’s, McLaren Mp4 – 12c’s, etc. parked all over the place! It’s just unreal!
But the race itself was terrible I must say… From GA you could not see anything. The few areas that had a track view were choked with other fans so you couldn’t get close… or the fences were intentionally covered so you couldn’t see the track because they didn’t want people there.
We were lucky to find a spot where you could barely see the tire level of the cars blowing by in a blur. Add to that very few TV screens around (and not even widescreen?? Come on Montreal!) And coming from America with Verizon… no phone or data access at all. I had no idea what was going on!
I spent $2k in 2 days and never saw a race at all! I sure heard it though… wow the sounds!
So is this always the experience with GA tickets? Are some tracks better than others? (Like Austin??!)
Thanks
