    We're looking for a pair of tix for Saturday only. FYI.

    We're in AZ 100 west of Phoenix heading that way in our land yacht and a '57 Chevy.

    The weather looks great so it shouldn't be an issue, but we can't see anything they've done to the on-site lots other than adding to the existing road base, which isn't where the big problems were.

    I have 2, 3day parking passes for Lot-F which I think is very close to turn 12.
    I inadvertently bought 2 more than I needed.
    I'll be in section T-12 bleachers, Section5, row 29 with my son.
    Shoot me a PM if you'd be interested in the parking passes...
    Thanks,

    How soon before the start of the race on Sunday should we arrive at COTA?

    What is there to see/do before the race?

    The race itself starts at 2:00 PM.

    If this is your first time at COTA, then be there around 930 by the time you park and get to the track it will be close to 1030

    You can visit the merchandising area and the area to the right of the grand stand to get a view of the pits.

    There may be supporting races before the actual race. All the on track festivities will begin around 12

    Mitch you rascal, I thought we'd discuss 400's in the beer garden where the waitresses wear lederhosen. Next year!

    Bring it tomorrow at the FCA party if you are attending. I could take it off your hand elbro.
    Still looking for GA's or low end seats for Sat & Sunday. GF wants to see the race, but also wants to see the show.

    Glad you enjoyed it. Didn't have a chance to make it this year, but is always fun. Have a safe trip back.

    That is a great view. I didn't realize one could see so much of the track from there. I was at Turn 1 (same as in 2012.) I love the vibe there. The start is great because the cars get all bunched up at the Turn. We saw quite a number of passes, Kimi's car stop and roll back into the pits...can't say I've ever seen an F1 car go backwards. Plus after the race there's the opportunity to get on track, which we did.
