Season 2012

After a long hard look at ourselves, we've decided changes are needed. Not just 'a bit of lipstick and powder' kinda change, but a 'full-on face lift' kinda change!

No more hovering around the edge of the track for us! No! We're sticking our heads in and our necks out to deliver exactly what is expected of a World Class Outfit such as ours.

Changes like this don't come quick or easy, so we need to step away - regroup over the off-season, and come back bigger and better than ever in 2012.

It'll be a tough off-season, but that will just make 2012 all the sweeter.

Get ready for some fun times! See you in 2012.

Korean Grand Prix

Well, Vettel did it again. Can't fault his drive, but the highlight was the skirmish between Hamilton and Webber...unfortunately the best of the on track action seemed to be best viewed on TV. From what I could tell, grandstand seating didn't provide ideal viewing of the most action packed sections of track.

I'd be pleased to get some feedback on Korea. Firstly, from anyone who was actually there and your thoughts on the facilities and viewing. And secondly, from anyone who would actually travel there for the GP.

As always I want to provide first-hand advice for any GP destination, and if there is enough interest in Korea I'll do that. But in the meantime, if anyone who has been to either this or last year's race wants to pass on any tip or advice, or can recommend accommodation options, then please write in with your comments and we'll share them with our readers.

US Grand Prix Travel Guide - Indianapolis

Don’t let what happened a few years ago put you off going to the US Grand Prix. History, no matter what its shape or form is made at every Grand Prix, and you can’t get more historic than The Brickyard – the world’s oldest racetrack.

Indianapolis is called the Crossroads of the US, and it typifies the country – abundant food, accommodation, and transport options - and it needs it when you consider the scale of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with its quarter of a million spectator capacity.

United Airlines will get you to Indianapolis, and pretty much anywhere in the US you could possibly want to go.

With such an abundance of accommodation, choose proximity as your criteria and stay at the Red Roof Inn Indianapolis Speedway. It is located about 3Km from the Speedway and has all the facilities you could possibly want or need.

The US is all about the motor vehicle, so either hire a car or use the frequent bus services connecting the city, airport and Speedway.

General Admission accesses the twisting infield, while the grandstands along the flat-out straights will appeal to the speed freaks. General Admission costs approx. $90 for the weekend, with grandstands prices ranging from $110 to $220 for Sunday Race Day. There are VIP options which cost $1680 for a weekend pass and $1440 for Sunday alone. All prices quoted in Australian Dollars.

Canadian Grand Prix Travel Guide - Montreal

Canadians are mad for Formula1 so the Canadian Grand Prix is always well attended. JV’s departure from the grid has done nothing to diminish the enthusiasm of the locals for the race or the excuse to throw a weekend long party. The location of the Circuit on the Ile Notre-Dame, its natural attractions, and the people of Montreal make the Canadian Grand Prix well worth going to.

Monaco Grand Prix Travel Guide - Monte Carlo

Let’s face facts… there is no need to try and convince anyone to go to the Monaco Grand Prix. EVERYONE wants to go, right? Wanting to go isn’t the issue – it’s knowing how to get there and knowing how to make the most of it.

There are two ways to get to Monaco for the Grand Prix – oh, there is a third way, but you need to be an F1 driver! One way is to book hotels, flights, race tickets, insurance, transfers, and transport as early as possible. The easier way is to book onto an all inclusive tour – it won’t only save you time and money at home, it will save you time and money once you’re there.

Spanish Grand Prix Travel Guide - Barcelona

The Circuit de Catalunya is one of the most spectator friendly circuits anywhere; it is the home circuit of the reigning World Champion; and it’s the first of the season's European races. And if that isn't reason enough for any self-respecting F1 fan to go then consider this...it is located half an hour's drive north of Barcelona along the motorway to Girona. Or in other words, two of the best tourist destinations in Europe!

Monaco for the Fast and the Furious

Of all the sporting events in the world, none can match the glamour and excitement of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.

More than just a car race, it transcends sport to become Europe's premier sporting and social event. Even just the name conjures up images of sun-soaked celebrities, expensive yachts and even more expensive living. But this image is somewhat misleading. Monaco is far more accessible and affordable than it appears.
