Last week the hammer came down on MagnyCours and the F1 event for 2009....
And so we have to look to go somewhere else.. I don't want to go to Belgium GP.. It is the best circuit of the world for the racers, but for the spectators it is one the wurst and the accommodations is a big zero... And Spa is 3 times more expensive then Magnycours was for a lot of less... (less laps, only one track to see, no extra round after the race, waiting for more then 2 minutes untill they pass again...) And the camping is a disaster... : Only chemical toilets, no showers, at least 30 minutes for track (manycours camping was on the track), no electricity, a lot less fun at the evenings...
So the next one close to us is the Nurburgring.. and then my question goes to Jyuetsch or others of course.. Ever been there? We always go from Thursday afternoon (evening) to the Sunday evening to an F1 event.. Is there a possibility to camp?? .. Do you know where we can find all that information?

Hello Hanz, Nürburgring is great circuit to visit F1. I was there in 2007 and my seat was in corner, where the cars pit in (last corner before finish line). Ît was the highest point of the track, so you could see a lot of the circuit, I wasn´t in the pits but in the opposite there were a lot of other activities. It was a lot of fun in my eyes, although the rain came twice - if you remember this chaotic race with Sutil was in front of the grid. I didn´t camp there, but had a hotel in Köln and visited only sunday (had won a ticket). Camping is possible and very popular. www.nuerburgring.de/Camping.104.0.htmlor www.camping-am-nuerburgring.de/Events/RaR/RaR2006.htmlmaybe we could meet each other next year! J.

How sad for you Europeans. The nearest F1 to me and Scatter is in Brazil and Europe is 7 to 9 timezones away.

spa didn't leave a good memory either, but then again I'm not a big fan of f1 too much walking and not much to see (I was in the straight facing the old pits) I was glad I didn't have to pay to be there this and we needed 5 hours to drive the 130 km home :/

That's true, if we were going to watch the last race of the F1 season we would have to go to Brazil. I can't get over Bernie Ecclestone dumping Canada. We now have zip, zero, nadda F1 races in N. America. I don't usually go to events that require more than 1 day. I like to drive to the track, watch the race, then drive home. It's just easier for me. I would like to experience a F1 race live just once, but that may not happen. I can always watch the race on tv.

URGENTLY need of fresh young people on the top !!! For the Canada GP 2009 there is possible still a future : en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/081023175302.shtmlen.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/081024095804.shtmlAnd also the idea to move to custom engines.. do they really think Mercedes, Ferrari, Toyota, Renault will still be interested??? Short minded fools xtian:: You don't like F1 so much....Dammed this Sunday you have to drive one

Let's hope Bernie doesn't turn Canada down.
But I agree with you Hanzi...Bernie and Max should GO!!!
