This was a dream come true!!! Visiting the famous race track, which hosts the Formula 1 race every year. I'm an F1 addict, and was thrilled to come here.
Ok, it was not an F1 race - but the Circuit offers a fantastic all-access behind-the-scene tour. You get to see every key area that is closed off to the public: the press room (yes, you can have a pic taken in the winners' chairs!); the production room with its multitude of TVs capturing every turn and twist of the track; the massive correspondents' area, where reporters from multiple countries gather to keep the fans updated or provide live commentary (a shout-out to the Speed TV fabulous crew). You get to see the lounge for privileged guests, and then step out onto the podium, where the winners receive their trophies (again a photo op with some souvenir cups, set up for visitors). Last, but not least, you go to the "paddock" - and let your imagination run wild as to what it would feel like to be there during a race.
This is a fantastic tour, with very interesting film to kick off the experience, and knowledgeable guide. The cost is only 10 Euros per person. It's a steal, and an experience of a life-time (yes, racing fans will understand what I'm talking about).
And, yes, I did buy the T-shirt. read more
