I'm a huge auto racing fan I'm just wondering if anyone has had an opportunity to go out to the new auto racing circuit. Major events are being held there including the world endurance championships with Ferraris Porsches all sorts of cool cars the track circuit looks beautiful but I'd love to get some first hand information thank you my name is Michael

Hello

Jan and I was all 3 days at the Formula 1 race last year. That was a great experience.
We were sitting in the grand tribune the only one covered to avoid the strong sun. Of course we could not se all of the circuit but a big part of it and the start and end point. There were different tribunes (different categories and prices) along the track that we could choose between when we booked the tickets.

In between the Formula 1 test drives, qualification there were other races with different classes of cars.

It was in the c... Lockdown, so there was a limited amount of people there, we had to wear masks and the security people were very keen on everybody wearing it all the time.
Area with food and drink worked perfect.

The only claim we had were that we had gotten tickets to seats that didn't exist (staircase) an that was a big problem for the administration to solve.

So go for it!

Kindly regards
Anne Kathrine

And if so I'd like to maybe get a group of like-minded people who enjoy auto racing so let me know if you and your friend might be interested in something like that you could be anything from going to races you know Sunday afternoon formula One party with food works a group carding rental out at the out autodrome.

Oh one other question, do you recall what the possible price range for tickets were I'm sure the formula one we were at the top of the pricing but I just was wondering since this would be my first European major auto race

Hi, I am also a racing fan and also go to track days to drive. I would be happy to share my passion with you guys. I tried to buy tickets for the F1 this year but it was impossible. Next year, I hope it works.

Great I just wish I was there at this point in time but hoping to move early next year but if if we could get a group of people together I think that would be kind of fun because I don't know I auto racing's been my passion my entire life and to me the sound of a race car engine is like a symphony. Thank you for your response Patrick
