GPUpdate

This is the experience of Ximena from Spain

Circuit:Barcelona
Year:2002
How did you go to the Grand Prix?Took a bus to the train station, then catched the train to Montmeló and then walked from the train station in Montmeló all the way up to the circuit (20mins walking!)

Where did you stay?I live in Barcelona so i stayed at home :) and woke up everyday at 6am to catch the first or second train and get there early

How was the transportation from your accomodation to the circuit?it was ok. Some times buses can get a bit late and make you lose the train you were planning to catch but there's a train every 20 mins or so.

Was it easy to get to the circuit?it is easy considering Barcelona is more or less 45 mins away from Montmeló by train.

What kind of tickets did you have?i had a seat. The second more expensives 1s

Why would you encourage or discourage people to take these tickets?it is one of the best sports in the world! watching Formula 1 live is one of the best experiences I've had

Why should people go to this GP?Because this is one of the best circuits in the world! (I'm not spanish so I'm not trying to leave Spain in a good place). It gives a good feeling (though that depends on the people and not much on the circuit)

Why shouldn't people go to this GP?to get to the circuit there's a lot to walk and considering the circuit is on the very top of a mountain, people has to make a huge effort (because at this time of the year it is getting warm) and the busses to get you up there cost about 50 euros
