    Higher. If you shoot photos, you want to avoid the fence.

    lower, you can smell the brakes and exhaust. you don't have to climb those steep steps. when you turn around you can look up girls dresses.

    Higher-

    You can see down toward the pits and across into the infield loop. There is a panavision screen directly across. The lower down, the cars are blocked from your view by the wall and the fence.

    Lower.

    That's at least what I tell everybody so there are some seats left up higher. :)

    The times I have been it really didn't matter as I walked around and watched the race from different perspectives anyway...I only spent about 20 minutes in my actual seat. If you don't want to spend the big bucks for a Paddock Club tickets (http://www.f1-gpt.com/vip.asp?race_id=42 ) just get cheap seats and watch from different places around the track...

    As a rule, higher is better.

    While I agree with that approach for practice/qualifying, this doesn't work for the actual race.

    Yeah, higher for sure. That fence was really annoying.
