Austin Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I am leaving Dover at 9.00 am Saturday.Where is the G.P. (Mangy Cours ?) Can I go to it on Sunday & still get to Le Sept at a reasonable time on Sunday night ? Anyone know how to get tickets ( 2 off ) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Is this a stupid question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Look here. I don't think it's out of the question distance wise, BUT my experience of F1GP all over the place is that you might find it a bit of a rush time wise. I reckon it's at least a 2.5hrs drive. You won't leave the circuit until at least 3pm and then you have to get out with everyone else. Even if you're lucky and it only takes 30mins to get under way properly it means you're not going to get to the hotel until 1800-1830 (allowing for finding it). All of which will leave it all a bit of a rush. If you want to give it a go, use the URL link above for the circuit number and buy direct (assuming there are tickets left).

Barbara Swift Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I've arranged for a TV in the bar at the hotel on Sunday so everyone who's there in time can watch it if they want. Austin, Don't forget the reception dinner's at 7.30 for 8.00. Barbara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 No problem. I should probably also have mentioned I don't really like Magny Cours . Though any GP's worth attending for the noise alone. Can I asked how much you had to cough up? Now Spa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richens Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Spa is definately worth a visit especially with the revised bus stop which I think improves the whole lap...there are worries that a car can spin out of the new pitlane entrance by entering too fast but I don't believe that will happen .

murph7355 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Blanchimont when it's foggy/raining (as it is often there) is something else. You can stand just feet away from F1 cars at full pelt. Hear a muted engine noise then all of a sudden huge rooster tails, noise, brief glimpse of fog light and gone at almost 200mph. Alesi was awesome through there. Even sleeping in the 7 in the car park was good fun, and I managed a cheer driving through the remains of the beer tent street from the one or two Germans still enjoying themselves at 4am!
