I am so excited - I am off to the Shanghai grand prix tomorrow (my first ever Grand Prix), all courtesy of the company I work for! I can't wait! Should be a good race too, with some of the faster cars down the field due to tyre changes.

Nice

My first GP will be the end of May and even SWMBO is getting excited already!

have you not set off yet?

Nope - I am currently working 90 minutes away from Shanghai on the bullet train. Ideal timing to have come out for a two week work trip!

Have a great day, its one of those must do's, as a family we did the British GP in 2009 full hospitality over the weekend, great experience, the atmosphere was undescribable, have a great day and savour every moment, its what memories are made for.

bring me back a rolex

not jelous really !.

if you've never seen F1 up close before, the noise is astonishing as is the cornering speeds. They don't accelerate and build speed like other cars, even quick stuff, they are amazing

Er, my only GP was (iirc) the European GP at Brands in '85

Also went to Le Mans that year too!

What an awesome day out! We had grandstand tickets that overlooked the end of the main straight, the hairpin theat followed, plus the entrance to the pits and the turn onto the start/finish straight.

I loved it! The Asia Carrera Cup ran beforehand, which was also a fantastic race with plenty of action. The F1 itself was stunning - the noise, the feeling, the atmosphere - plus we were lucky to have seen some fantiastic moves, and a few spills in the race from where we were. Even the beer was cheapish at just under £2 a pop! Overall, a thoroughly bloody good way to spend a sunny Sunday!
