Default Barcelona GP ticket advice

I'm going in May to my first GP but having never been I have no idea what tickets are best (sub - 1000€) and hopefully someone has some input? it would be either Sat-Sun or Sunday only, which eliminates Paddock Club at 3500€+ and VIP Gold at 1575€. Is VIP Silver (819€ for Sunday only) worth it? Any Grandstands better than others?

Thank you!

Why don't you invest the $3500 towards a flight and race car rental for the race at the Glen in June? Just saying........

Gary, try the track car rental at the Barcelona GP track. You can try a few laps in many different cool cars. They even have a race-prepped 986 Boxster — much better even than the 458 Italia which felt like a pig in comparison. The track is awesome!

PM/email some Valencia pics — just noticed the new location in your avatar. Well done!

Thanks bud! Barcelona is only a 2 hour train ride from my home so easy to get to, I'll look into the track rentals! There is also a MotoGP track about a 20 minute ride here in Valencia I want to check out. In Thailand until March but I'll email you some photos when I get home, it will be Fallas Festival time and CRAZY in the streets then!!

was a great GP to go to. i got tix in the grandstand outside turn one. they were great as you saw the cars track up the hill then they came around and you can see them pass back by you on the track out in front if that makes sense (dont recall turn numbers).

was super easy to get to from down town.

bring sunscreen
