I just received an invitation from Ferrari Hospitality for the USGP. In it they talk about: " A commanding view of the circuit from a new, purpose-built Turn 13 Ferrari Hospitality Suite" Anybody seen this? Is it just another temporary hut, or did they actually build somehting near turn 13?
No they haven't built anything. I'm sure this will be another temp hospitality suite just like they had there last year with a "commanding view" of...well...of just the T12 exit to T15 (almost).
there is no way $4K is worth the hospitality being provided... pit walk daily and Paddock club access is nice but not $4k nice... For $4k you can take 4 people to Thomas Keller 3 star Michelin guide restaurant.... for lunch and dinner... there is NO way Ferrar are providing anything remotely that good... our business competitor does the food there... and it aint worth it. if they let you cruise the Paddock all day - then it would be a bargain!
Both are not worth it. Paddock club is a rip off as well -again you get two pit walks each day... when there are no drivers / mechanics or cars out and about... as for the food etc... extreemly average if you ask me.... the passes are nice... that is about it. I knew - Anne Richards from Allsport & Paddy McNally who came up with the Paddock club thing... it used to be very clubby...now its just a way to make more money from those with more $$$$ and no connections in F-1...but make you feel like you are there... the gold ticket is Sponsor credential as team guest with Grid and paddock access. Pit lane is totally off limits but garage is where you want to be.
