Over here for the Belgian GP, went a bit mad on tickets as we have seats in the new grandstand at the top of Eau Rouge…taken my 78yr old m-in-law as she’s F1mad and never been to a race. Wifey and son sightseeing around Acchen in Germany where we’re staying. Cars are a fair bit louder now, still not a patch on the old N/A days but still better than the first year of turbo cars. Roll on the race when Max gets a podium…😬

Nice view. 8) :thumbsup: Hilarious fun following an oil slick through there at full chat in the MR. Those few moments of opposite lock will live long in my Grey matter. :driving: :D

Fantastic view to one of the best sections in any F1 track! Hope you have nice weather too. Just asking for a friend, how big money would a typical seat be?

Enjoy the race but I am ABV (anyone but Verstappen). Can’t stand the little s**t, his loud mouth Dad, Horner & the Austrian bloke who’s name escapes me yet always has something (unpleasant) to say.
