    The one in two weeks time. :eek: God I used to love F1. Yesterday was the 1st race in 19 years that I had zero interest in watching. I already knew who would finish 1st, 2nd & 3rd after Saturdays qualifying. This sport is losing me. Damn you Formula One!

    It would have to be Italy.

    Spa, check...did that this year. I'd like to go to Monza and Monaco. Hockenheim and Melbourne were last year. Oh, Silverstone would be nice, and Shanghai...jeez, there's still quite a few I need to check off the list.

    Just a superfan really, quite eccentric and over the years made lots of friends in the paddock. He's nearly at every race :eek:

    I think Moko has the same fashion stylist as Kai Ebel.

    Already have been at Monza. But I still haven't seen a Ferrari win at Monza, so I'd try it again.

    Otherwise, Monaco, of course.

    For 30-50M $US I would watch the Monaco GP from the cockpit of a Williams while circling the track,... Just like Lance Stroll.

    Of all of the ones I've been to, Abu Dhabi is definitely my favorite. I love Monza and Montreal but they're not Any Dhabi. It's epic.

    Baku... It's like a more accessible Monaco. Beautiful scenery, very inexpensive, great street course, easy public transit and great weather. I'd highly recommend hanging out at the Rebull bar inside the JW Marriott. The bar overlooks the track, has a huge TV setup and is totally free to the public. I ran into both Lewis and Alonso there. They also have a phenomenal track walk for free and great performances throughout the weekend.

    Moko is a great guy and very knowledgeable about F1. He works for Chrome Hearts... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Damn! My 1st Monza GP was a Ferrari 1-2 :D:D:D Bonus was when Ralf overtook Mika we were celebrating like a Ferrari had passed him :D

    I wish they had the new podium back in those days!


    fast forward to 1hr21mins for the pass.


    Hopefully you get to enjoy a Ferrari win @ Monza one day!

    Monza, the place to go for Ferrari fans.

    Followed by Spa, Suzuka and Monaco, though the latter only if someone else is paying the bill!

    And I have to give kudos to Montreal, where I've attended 13 GPs, and Austin, where I've only been once, but which merits support as the first bona fide GP circuit in this country (IMO) since Watkins Glen.

    I'm with the Mayor: Judith and I attended Monaco last May, watched the race from the bar at the Cafe de Paris du Casino de Monte-Carlo. Belle epoque and slots! I've also attended F1 at Montreal, Monza, Silverstone, Zandvoort and Watkins Glen!

    I'm also with him on going back in time: my first F1 race was Silverstone July 1960, then Monza September 1960, Monaco May 1961, Zandvoort May 1961, and the Glen in 1964. It surely was a very different racing world, totally unrecognizable today.

    But which track is best? I'm with John Ireland, Spa is the best, though its length means fewer laps so that one actually sees the cars much less often.

    I've been to a lot of the races - Monaco, Monza, Spa, Silverstone, Paul Ricard, Imola, Barcelona, etc... but to me the best place to see F-1 is Monza. especially if cost is no object.

    Chopper in from Villa D'Este every day, Paddock Club and pit and Paddock tours - its spectacular. Get out and see all the various turns - Bassa, and Ascari and Lesmos... and then do a tour of the banking. the passion and sheer number of people at Monza are well worth it. Not to mention the Ferrari connections. the cost no object means you don't have to wait to get in or out... that is the best part. However on race weekend the local area is very welcoming as well so its worth one day to experience it - once....

    Monaco is a great place for partys - terrible for a race to watch. when the cars were Normally aspirated - it was kinda cool - you could hear them warm up even on the other side of the track down by Poitier ... but today its way over crowded, and even if you have the best grand stand seat - you only get a narrow view of the track... that being said - lunch time viewing at Rascasse is about as close and the best you can get! if you can get a balcony at the hotel de paris across from the Casino that can be a good view too... but really Monaco is about pre and post race fun. if you go to Monaco = make sure you stay 2-3 days after the race... its much better.. the build up is a PITA.

    2 part answer.

    One track, Spa

    One race, the 1000th in 2019. Wherever it may be.

    Not a fan of going to the races. Would have gone to Korean GP though as I heard the chicks were the hottest ever.
