My boyfriend and i had always wanted to see F1 but never thought we would and certainly not in Monaco. Oh my word, we would recommend it to everyone!!! It really is one of the best things we have ever done. I bought the tickets as a suprise 30th birthday present for my boyfriend, i did struggle at first as to where to sit but ended up going with Tribune T as this was right opposite the pit Lane. I couldn't really afford the Race Day so we went the Sunday before and stayed for five days, F1 Practice being the last. At the begining of the week we saw all the teams setting up in the Paddocks and could walk up and down the pit lane as much as you wanted. Its true what they say, it is the only place you get so close to the track and the drivers!! Wed is one of the best days as all the drivers seem to be around you can get pictures and autographs. I Would recommend getting a table at Stars and Bars which looks into the Paddock, keep your camera at the ready as i can guarentee you will see quiet a few people walk pass who you may just recognise!!!!! We didn't find it as expensive as what we thought it would be apart from Casino Square, we had a pint and a orange juice it came to 20Euros!!! £12 just for the pint but we were sat in Cafe De Paris!!!!! David Coulthard and his wife did walk past at one point so i supose it was worth it. The seats on the Thursday were fantastic, just perfect for our 1st time at a F1 race. We had the McLaren and Farrari teams right in front of us so we could see everything happening in the pit lane but also had a fantastic view of the cars coming past, there is also a tv screen so you don't loose out on what is going on around the rest of the track. My boyfriend was absolulty made up with his present, he said he wouldn't have picked any other seats for our first time at the track as so much was going on around us. All i can say is enjoy every minute, you will not do anything like it ever again.
The map in the official programme gives a more accurate diagram of the ciruit with the location of the grandstands. I had not, for example, realised that there was water between Grandstand N and the circuit, whereas that was not true for Grandstand K (one end of which had a much less good view incidentally). (It did, for example, usefully cut down the noise level somewhat.) If that map could be included on your website, that would make the selection of the most suitable grandstand easier.
The efficiency of loading the grandstands was impressive.
