Having been to Austin for the inaugural race and 2 subsequent years, I absolutely love sitting on turn 12, you can see 90% of the circuit while being in the braking zone after long back straight. Then up close on the stadium section. Bring sunscreen as you will need it. 🏁🏁

I went to Budapest this year and I paid £342 for 3 days at the ibis hotel, about £8 per day to get to the circuit (it is quite easy to use public transport but when returning you need to walk to the train station, waiting the free shuttle at the circuit was a nightmare). Flying to Budapest can get expensive but I paid £70 in a flight from Vienna to London + £25 for the train between Budapest and Vienna. My ticket was £215 silver 5 grandstand in front of the last corner of the circuit. It was fine to get inside carrying snacks and even some drinks).

Great video Kym! I went to the Qatar GP and spent a total of £1400. I flew direct from Manchester to Doha on Thursday and stayed at the Hampton by Hilton hotel in Doha old town which was £400 for 4 nights. I was at turn 3 grandstand for all 3 days which was £225. My direct flight cost was £650. I then spent about £100 on food, drinks and the metro to and from the track. £1400 was great value as i got a good grandstand and a decent hotel and getting to fly with Qatar Airways was a joy even just in economy.

It depends on where you life. I feel Zandvoort is the cheapest option for me, considering I don’t need accommodation, and I can go by train (or bike) to the event. Just need the tickets and they are mostly the same price anywhere. Alternatively SPA is an option, and going camping is the budget friendly solution. Like most of the orange army do. I do understand that if you need accommodation here, it can be expensive. But NOT if you know where to look. Just choose a city further away from Zandvoort but reachable by train within the hour. Leiden or The Hague are probably the best option, considering they have the quickest train ride to Haarlem, from where you can easily go to Zandvoort.

Ive got one more tip, probably the best, try being a Marshal for the race. 1. Ive been able to make friends that host us and i host them when they come over. So you dont spend on accomodation. 2. You will pretty much be fed for two/3 meals so you dont have to spend too much for food. 3. No tickets needed except for flights to and fro the host country and back home. Well theres pro and cons to it but ive been able to spend less and experience more so not much complains from myself.

As an American I would rather fly to Europe and watch a race the go to Miami,Texas or Vegas for a race . Vegas is outrageously expensive for most blue collar people. I know for nascar races you can bring in food and drink so that’s a big savings. Hotels are all 10x the price when a race is in town. So I would rather go to Europe and experience the culture and life for a week then stay in the us.
