F1-Austin- who's going??
Leaving Wednesday night to get a little closer so Thursday isn't a LONG day since we want to get there for the pit walk...can't wait!!
Haven't been to an F1 race since the first one at Indy in 2000. Gotta wonder what they'll sound like in person...

Jealous! I won four tix to this year's race at USGP 2013 in the simulators. Ended up racing in the finals against a couple other qualifiers and Alex Rossi (who I ended up beating.) I took second, Rossi took third. The winner of that race spent the day in the pits with Rossi and then watched with him in the Caterham box.... I should have pushed harder. LOL.

I'll be there also with the wife unit. T5. I went the first year and, after having to deal with crazy hotel prices, we're doing it a bit differently this time. COTA has a dry camping lot just outside of T5, so we're bringing the RV, which puts us near where our seats are located. No dealing with traffic into and out of COTA, and we're going to leave Monday morning so we avoid the mad rush after the race is over. Sounds great in theory but we'll see how it is in reality.

My dad and I will be there as well. He's been to Silverstone but I'm an F1 virgin. Seats are at turn 15. If anyone has any hospitality connections, we'll pay top $$. Tried contacting McRae Aviation about potential heli transfers but haven't heard back from them.
