At last!

[Delboy]

After following F1 for many years I'm finally going to a race - yeeha! Just booked up to go to the British Grand Prix for both the qualifying and race days :thumbs up:. Nothing fancy mind, only general admission on both days but I don't care - cannot wait :clap:.

Excellent, when is that del, should be a cracker, is valerie going too?

[Delboy]

You'll love it Del, its an absolutley brilliant weekend, a very expensive one if you buy merchandise (which you've gotta do!) and the fast food is quite pricey but hey...its the British GP - who cares about price?! Your at one of the best sporting events of the year! :cool:

BTW Dont forget to charge those camera batteries and it also helps if you've worked out how to master the continuous shooting mode before the race starts:argh:! Oh and make sure you catch the Red Arrows display pre-race - its awesome!:yes nod: Oh and also remember not to forget those ear defenders (you can buy ones there with radio included so you can listen to the commentry whilst those luggys are protected! BONUS!) :thumbs up:
Last bit of advise...get there super early on race day for a good spot around the circuit and dont forget the poncho just in case!:hand:!

Thanks for the advice :thumbs up:. I am expecting an expensive weekend between food, drink and F1 merchandise! The camera will be going too and thanks for the tip on reading up on continuous shooting mode :lol:. Since I'm there on the Saturday for qualifying, I'll be able to figure out where I want to go on race day - at least that's the plan :smilewinkgrin:.

Re the ear defenders, am I better getting them before I go or just wait until I'm there?

Cheers,
Del

Ear plugs should suffice.
