Any Funsters at F1 Testing in Barcelona?

[Pete5996]

I've settled in on an aire 10 mins from the circuit for week 2 of testing. Any other Funsters planning to attend? Weather looks promising!

I'm no Martin Brundell but I'll see what I can do...

How much is admission please ?
Is the aire walking distance to the circuit.
I`d love to do this another year but i guess there is a lot of watching the grass grow ? no track action while the techies work their magic

If you haven't already bought a race ticket which will get you in FOC, daily entrance is €20. You can pay extra for a pitwalk, access to the roof overlooking the pits and 8mins in a go-kart for €50, or €99 gets you access to the paddock. I'll not bother with either.
The aire (choice of 3) is about 10 mins drive from the circuit - there's no overnight pitching allowed at the circuit for testing.
They break for lunch and red flags, of course, but there are cars on the track most of the day from 0900 to 1800hrs. I believe about 4000 laps were clocked up last week!

I'll be there tomorrow, drove up today but staying in a hotel as driving back on Wednesday.
Hope Ferrari get it right this year, thinking Leclerc will do well and if Red Bull can get the Honda engine working it should be a three way fight for both titles.
