Excellent write up Mike. I have been thinking about taking my son to an F1 event. Your article makes me think that I need to get good seats in the stands instead of the general admission if we do attend one. I think that "Rookie" makes a good point about people being fans of events. I have been to just about every form of racing in person that there is and it is hard to beat the TV as far as coverage goes. On the other hand the sites, sounds, smells and cheers is hard to get from the TV. Really that is what makes an event what it is and worth the money. Everyone should go to at least one of each event that interests them and find out for themselves. I am a little biased because I am used to being behind the wheel.........which is the BEST view!
