Anyone going to COTA for the F1 race?

Just seeing who else is going...

I am so jealous.

Definitely a bucket list item for me. Shooting for Singapore 2018.

Oh, that sounds like an experience!

I was going to do the Porsche experience center, but this kinda fell into place so...Merry Xmas to me.

Very nice! I'm sure you'll have a blast. Where will you be sitting?

I have no idea dude, General seating I thinking . I had my buddy help set me up, and got the 3 day pass - like $200, the actual plane ticket cost twice as much.

I was thinking about upgrading to see the pit crews, but like 1k for what I saw - I'll pass on that.

That's a killer deal! The cheapest price I saw while browsing for tickets was $400+ for just Sunday and the early pre-order discount.

Buddy sent me an email so I grabbed it, so no idea. I hope it's a good race, and they have a concert after!

Hehe, I'm more of a Lewis and Vettel fan myself.

Thank you:-D

I'll be there next week as well. I like to see Ricciardo steal points from Lewis and Nico, but wouldn't mind seeing Vettel destroy the battle of the podium a little bit. Should be a good race!

Also -

ALERT. Place will be packed with T Swift fan girls.

davis449 · 10-13-2016, 01:28 PM

I went to the first one in 2012. It was pretty fun. Got to hear the last of the V8 powered F1 cars. Then again, it's a not really a luxury for me due to where I live.

As long as Lewis does not win, it'll be a good weekend in my book. I hate that guy.

Really hoping to see Haas do well this race. No more brake failure, please.

We'll be there too in T15 grandstand. Hopefully it's 'Hammer Time' 😄

I was gonna go but had no one to go with. #foreveralone

MKSixer · 10-13-2016, 08:22 PM

I'll know by Tuesday. I went to the German GP in 2012 as a guest of AMG and met Michael Schumacher, The Rat, Nico, Ross Brawn and a few others.

TheAxiom if you can splurge for the pit action, do so! It is completely worth it.

Go! You are strong enough to enjoy your own company and you will meet some cool people there. I highly recommend the Paddock Club!!

Lol. No I'm not. Maybe when I finally get a cat, I can put it on a leash and take it places with me. Right Lups ???

It's also too close to my exam date to waste an entire weekend having fun. One day I'll go.
