Getting ready for Sunday's Grand Prix
Fri 23rd May
Some of that good karma we earned back in Portugal is finally paying off. With no forward planning what so ever, somehow we ended up in Cannes for the film festival, and in Monaco for the Grand Prix.
Such strokes of luck don't come around often so we decided to throw the travel budget out the window and buy Grand Prix tickets. Just 70 euros each with a 10 euro booking fee in Secteur Rocher, which is basically a general admission area on a cliff side overlooking the city.
We wandered into Monte-Carlo today to get a look at our seating area and the view is actually pretty good. Only problem is that the cliff side looks a little precarious, with the lowest rock ridges about 2 stories above the streets below. I'm not good with heights and the area looks like it'll get quite crowded so I'm pretty sure we wont be seated next to the Beckhams.
Here's some video and pics from today. Much more to follow after Sunday.
Ticket holders for Saturday or Sunday can visit the pit lanes and walk the circuit in the afternoons.
THE CIRCUIT
The racing circuit snakes through Monaco's steep and winding streets. Several residents hire out their apartment terraces for up to 150,000 euros for the week.SECTEUR ROCHER
Otherwise known as the cheap seats.VIEW FROM SECTEUR ROCHER
We're hoping for a view this clear and close on Sunday, but it may involve camping overnight. Fingers crossed.MCLAREN PIT LANE
No sign of Lewis, but we did spot his pit lane.
