    Do a google search for F1 packages and you'll get a host of sites that do packages and tickets. Usually the package would include entrance to circuit. Also try travel agencies because they do pasckages to afaik

    A guy I work with has just been to the spainish GP, will find out from him. His girlfriend works for a sports agency that does those trips- not cheap.

    I was planning to go to Monza... I'm a huge colombian fan of Juan Pablo Montoya... anyway I was going to go with my gf... and the full package was going to cost between 900-1100 euros.

    Don't take me wrong. I love F1. But this package was going in a CHEAP mode.


    No the best tickets
    Going Ryanair :(
    Going to B&B in Monza.
    Easting cheap.

    I don't know but investing 1100 euros is a huege risk for a weekend.
    You have to consider.... your position in the race.... the weather... (imagen how lovely will be 65 laps under de rain....)..... etc...


    Any way, best of luck.....

    If you don't get tickets.... get the 900 euros.
    Buy a Ps2, get a F1 2003, buy 4 controls, buy a Nice TV. and invite all your friends to play....

    :D

    another way of doing it (haven't really researched this now!) is fly to chicago and drive to indianapolis (bout 3hrs) and stay there.

    Flights to chicago are pretty cheap now AFAIK.

    I know that Indi is one of the Cheapest Grand Prix of all. F1 is not so huge in the States. Is much bigger Nascar or Formula Kart.

    Is a good option....
