If anyone is going, make sure you take some time to stand at pit out. You're about 12 feet from the cars as they leave the speed restricted area of the pits. Amazing. You MUST wear ear protection. The first year I didn't. I now have a 30% loss of high frequency sound. I felt like I had stilettos in my ears. Its also a great area to take pictures.
I agee that the track sucks being flat and boring. It seems like much of F1 today has gone to more of a technical track design. But since I'm only a little over 2 hours away, it doesn't suck that much.
There is nothing like F1. Absolutely nothing.
