    This will be my first ever year attending a race (Las Vegas) and it was admittedly only possible due to a decent disposable income that happened to line up. I can imagine how many people want to attend but can’t because their favorite track is impossibly expensive or the more “affordable” tickets being out of travel distance.

    I started getting into F1 a bit more in the past couple of years.

    I remember thinking it might be a cool idea to try and go along to a race at Silverstone. Seemed like it would be a good day out.

    Took one look at the prices and resigned myself to probably never going to an F1 race in my life, unless I suddenly come into vast amounts.of sustained wealth.

      I’ve been watching my whole life and I’ve never seen a race live. I imagine it’s a really cool event, but something like the British GP at least is more like a festival (holiday-level cost, camping, drinking, sun and rain, side events) where you get to half-watch the race (with much less detail than you’d see on the telly!)
