Was just looking at going to the Vegas GP, its only a 16hour drive for me.

2200$ standing tickets for Saturday wow just wow. That’s not travel, lodging, or food costs.

I checked for Sakura GP, we could fly to Tokyo, Hotel, and GP tickets. Plus stay for a week with $2k travel costs. Not including food and other fun expenses.

I’ll take my foreign vacation with a dash of F1 please. Also maybe they have a Yukon grandstand. Go Yuki!

    Gotta love that there are now races in America so us Americans can keep flying to Europe to watch races

      Or Canada, which is what I’m doing lol. ~$450 for a grandstand seat at the hairpin all weekend. But I think Zandvoort might be in the cards next year, I’ve heard that’s a pretty reasonable race to attend as well.

        Zandvoort looks amazing just for the scenery alone. Add in a race!!!

          Zandvoort has the benefit of being in a small, densely populated country with decent public transport. So you can stay at a hotel in some less touristy or obvious city and still get to the track in maybe 2 hours and see some Dutch landscapes from the train (it’s a bit boring to me, but it’s always nice to see another country). You can then visit a city like Amsterdam (for museums and the tourist traps), Dordrecht or Leiden (both more authentic and beautiful cities. Also less tourists, so I should tell you this and change that) in the days after the GP when the hotel prices there are back to normal.

            It’s on the list of places for us to visit for sure.

      Right. Even Canadian GP is pretty much pricing me out.
