SPANISH FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX

The only downside is the walk from the train station to the track.
If buses were available like at other European tracks it would assist many customers. Apart from this, all was fantastic. Thankyou!

excellent service by BOOKF1 - thanks

Everything was excellent, service from book F1 and track except for the cicuit radio feed, 94 .3, the english commentary. We were unable to pick up the signal from where we were. Also, the sign posting from the train station was very poor.

great tickets, arrived in time. Would like to know more about Febuary and March test trips for F1 with paddock access
many thanks

We were absolutely delighted with our F1 experience at the Spanish Grand Prix.
It started with the ease of access to our car park which took just 5 minutes from leaving the motorway until we were locking the doors and on our way!.
Our stand was, in our view, the best as we had a graet view of turn 1 & 2 at the end of the main straight and then again of turns 5 & 6.
On both accounst we saw many great battles all weekend within all of the races.
If anything the weather was too good and our stand didn't have a roof but with the breeze and plenty of sun guard we had a fabulous time!

Only positive comments for your service and our seats and the general experience. I have also booked with you for Valencia at the end of June. Please could you try to allocate seats in a similar position there ie. top back row right at the top of the stairs with no-one in front of us. The only constructive comment we have however is that there should be better transport facilities from the railway station to the circuit. There is just a tiny electric 'train' which carries few people at a time from the centre of the town. Otherwise, it is a full half hour walk which is OK but a test of endurance 3 days' running in the heat and with drinks etc to carry.

The overall experience was very good. Racing was great, view was superb and atmosphere made it very fun. Only downside was the access from the train to the circuit (train station is very small, and quite far from the circuit) which got very busy after the race. The prices of food and drink at the circuit were excessive by any standard. Overall though, a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

From start to finish the whole experience was absolutley awesome, since this was my 1st GP , future trips will have their work cut out. i would suggest to people who get the train there, that you invest 10 euro and grab a taxi to the circuit (between 4 people, its a nice shortcut step! especially if its 30+ deg.)
zone A , was the best decision situated at the 1st corner, which proved to be a great overtaking spot on the circuit under brakes!! good action weekend.

Third time at Spanish grand prix ,will be returning next year again same
Stand.tickets arived on time full itinerary stress free !!

Having been to Silverstone twice we decided it was time to move further afield and chose the Spanish grand prix as our first one outside of the UK. We stayed at the Sidorme Mollet hotel which was a couple of train stops away from the circuit, it was a perfect base for the track and a snippet of what we expected to pay over a race weekend. It’s a good 30 - 40 minute walk when you get off the train to the circuit, you pass through a little village where there are a few restaurants and shops for you to stock up on food and drinks to take into the circuit as they are way cheaper and also as a good place to have a drink on the way back to let the crowds get away. We didn’t buy anything inside the circuit as they were ridiculously over priced. From what I remember you were only allowed to take plastic bottles in and bags are searched on entry.

In my opinion the circuit itself didn’t provide much entertainment. There were hardly any stalls to look around, perhaps we have been spoilt with Silverstone having so many different stands to get involved with. We bought 3 day tickets in stand P which provided a good view of the 3rd bend but didn't give us much excitement. There was a large TV screen directly in front of us which meant we could keep up with what was happening. There wasn’t anything to do at the circuit other than watch practice, qualifying or the race. Finding our seats was a bit of challenge as our stand wasn’t very well sign posted. We didn’t have to queue to get in but getting out was a different story.

Obviously we were aware of how the Spanish felt about Hamilton but I wasn’t really prepared to be actually booed at personally for wearing his merchandise! You can imagine the noise when he had to retire on the second from last lap. The weather was fabulous but towards the end the heat got a bit much, covered seats would be a better option but if not make sure you have plenty sun cream and a hat. Also be aware of pick pockets, we had our camera pinched out of our rucksack on the train from a thief posing as a Red Bull supporter, we realised pretty quickly and confronted him and got it back (don’t really recommend this though!).

So to sum it up, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy tickets from BookF1 in the future and even though the race didn’t give us the result we wanted we still had a great time. I think it’s fair to say that you don’t really go to a F1grand prix to actually watch the race as you see more at home on the television, but the atmosphere is great, well if you’re not a Hamilton supporter in Spain!

This was our first Grand Prix and it did not disappoint. We bought general admission tickets for 99EUR (3 day pass) and felt they were very good value for money. There are plenty of places round this circuit to get a good view of a corner or straight and a TV without needing to be in the inexplicably expensive grandstands. It isn't a classic race (JB stuck behind MSCH the whole race for example), but GP2 and Formula BMW were good forerunners.
Tip1: We bought two camping chairs for 9EUR each on the Sunday in Montmelo from a shop so we felt as if we had better than grandstand seats! We gave them to an English ex pat family on the way out so didn't worry about airplane issues.
Tip2: Get there early on the Sunday. We arrived at 7am and got a great spot just off the level concrete path after coming out of the tunnel. Late arrivals were left scrabbling for places by 9am.
Tip3: The villagers of Montmelo have woken up to the Grand Prix and sell sandwiches and drink outside the grand prix grounds. Buy stuff there or bring a picnic from Barcelona.
Tip4: It isn't as difficult as people say to get to the circuit on foot from Montmelo train station (that's our experience anyway), but it is uphill. If you walk fast like us it's 20 mins. Walking back to the station is easier and recommended. The quicker you go the easier it was to get onto the train going back. Both Sat and Sun morning we got the tractor bus to the circuit from the top of Montmelo village at a cost of 1EUR each - well worth it!
Tip5: We stayed in Barcelona near Sants station and this was great for both the racing and then to explore Barcelona later that week. Sants is the start of the Montmelo line so you will get a seat in the morning.
Tip6: Bring earplugs and a portable radio so you can listen to the FM circuit commentary. Those cars are deafeningly loud!

Amazing weekend at the 2010 Spainish GP, weather was great. I would not reccomend camping if you are flying as the air travel weight limits really restrict you on what you can take.

BookF1 were amazing, kept me updated all the time and the tickets arrived in plenty of time. he pack of information sent with the tickets is a life saver as it gives directions for rail travel and a good overview of teh weekend.

Planning to go to Canada 2011 and will use BookF1 for sure!

Firstly thank-you "book F1" tickets arrived in good time for departure what a pity you couldn't have had the same control over the ASH CLOUD. This was our 2nd year at Barcelona the first being so tremendous we just had to come back! We booked General Admission and looked forward to the Pit Walk on the Thursday with great enthusiasm but this was not to be - our flight out of Belfast was cancell ed on the Wednesday morning but in good Ulster fashion not to be deterred we took the Liverpool Ferry from Belfast and flew out of Liverpool on the Friday morning. Just hope Alonso appreciates his loyal fans! The trains from Sants to Montmelo are frequent and inexpensive. Yes there is a bit of a hike from the station to the circuit but part of that has Team Merchandise Stalls and the last bit you are carried along by excited anticipation the noise of the cars and media helicopters! Much as we had great views (just opposite T3 and amazing photo's of LH's crash!!!) we felt that in order to get good "seats" and Mexican Waves in General Admission we ought to have been there at about 8 or 9 in the morning. Every visit makes us wiser and wanting more of this live F1 experience. TV does not prepare you for it!!!
PS the Spanish people don't dislike Lewis they just love and adore Fernando!! What a fantastic ambassador for the sport of F1 in Spain he has become!

We had never been to a grand prix before, but were given some tickets as an anniversary present, and what a present! The circuit was amazing and so clean! We had three day tickets and saw all of the action, so much more than you see on TV, the crowd was good natured even to the brits. Was an exprience that we wont forget. Thanks team for the excellent service.

The Pelouse ticket get's good views as long as you are very early on Sat and Sunday. On Friday you can go anywhere including the grandstands and it's really worth taking a wander. I got excellent pictures with no fences or anything in the way from many areas around the track on Friday - you can't do that at Silverstone.
Saturday & Sunday you'll be in with the Alonso fans and have to put up with some pretty nasty Hamilton bating but they were friendly enough towards us.
My best bit of advice is to use the Sagales coach service and not the train to get to and from the track. www.sagales.com
Otherwise you'll have a long walk to the track.
Also don't buy any food or drink at the circuit.
Don't expect the race to be very exciting, it never is at this track.

Only our second live Grand Prix, but would imagine that the views of the race track afforded by this circuit would be hard to beat, we were in stand K but there were also great views from general admission( if your lege can take standing a couple of hours).
Be aware Shuttel busses dont return to train station after race, so its either 30 min walk or Taxi (drivers not interested,too shorter distance to make a killing) busses dont appear to run on sunday.
Book F1, once again excellent service

The only complaint I would have is the distance from the train station to the circuit is very far and also we had tins of beer and tuna confiscated by the spanish security but we saw spanish people with can of beer in the circuit (one rule for the english one rule for the spanish!) also the price of the beer and food inside the circuit was a rip off! next time I would probably go for a stand seat as our view was not that brilliant

Fab circuit easy to get to and some good spots to be had on general admission ticket. Going on the saturday qualifying helped to get bearings and choose a spot to sit sunday - well advised to do this... Marshalls fab directing traffic didnt wait long in or out which was a pleasant surprise. Food was limited, not good and expensive, take a picnic!

Overall a fantastic weekend, cicuit great and genral admission viewing the best I have seen, and I have been to a few races home and abroad! Can suddenly rain so be prepared for a shower and extremely hot weather! Don't let the Spanish fans offend you as they are quite ignorant and there is no other driver than Alonso! Shame he did not win then!!

this was the first time i have been to see the f1 live and i can honestly say wow what an experience.Any one who says that you see more on tv hasnt been to a grand prix.The seats were in a fantastic position and to stand meters away from the track as a f1 car races by at 180mph was out of this world.Big thanks to the support f1 team they made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
