    The website's called "getjealous" dot com, I'm jealous!

    Making all the races in one season, that's something I've always wanted to do.

    Thanks for posting Kevin.

    Back during the 'easy' years (no kids, etc.) my wife actually suggested we do this. Journal every moment from arrival and so on, and I thought it would be funny to see how far she could talk her way into the inner ring at each track. Wouldn't work so well these days, though.

    ha! i was going to do that as well. decided most of the races are snorefests and it wasn't worth the travel headache.

    awesome idea though.

    Thanks for posting this. I have sold my wife on doing this when our kids are older. I think it's a great way to travel the world while enjoying my favourite sport. I'm really interested in some of the basic logistical challenges this endeavour poses, so I hope he writes about it all.

    I'm curious about the logistics/schedule as well. I'm going to send him a note to try and meet him in Montreal this year. This is a serious bucket list item....

    FWIW - I signed up for his rss feed to make it easier to follow along

    I'll buy you drinks in Montreal; sending you an email
    Kevin

    legend! This is also on my bucket list.
    You're in a unique position to compare each grand prix experience.
    If you think it's appropriate (and you've got time between races), could you post about:
    The logistics, i.e. arranging flights, accommodation, tickets, etc.
    The infrastructure (getting to/from the track) and atmosphere in each city/track?
    Favourite restaurants, clubs and must-see places in each city?

    Looking forward to your updates as the season progresses!
