Very good.

Its such a shame they nerfed the mid season testing. The cheap access it gave fans was brilliant.

The FIA really need to sit down and look at how fans access F1. I found out the other day that the V8 Supercars pre season testing actually includes a televised 1 lap shootout. NASCAR pre season testing looks to be treated like a full on event too.

You can get into Indycar test days for free (at least at the private tests).

As long as the TV money comes in, I don't think FOM\CVC care...F1 already races in front of bare aluminium in several countries.

Yeah, but the main reason V8 Supercars did that was to stop people watching the Bathurst 12 hours!

They seem to get really annoyed and act Childish when anyone but themselves dare use Mount Panorama.

So how much in total was it?

A glass of beer over £300, including travel, accommodation, car hire, flights, food and drink and entry to the circuit.

That's very cheap. I'm looking on going to the second test next year, if I can catch a train all the way there.

To Barcelona? Fly. In Feb it will cost about 12p to get there.

They won't allow my power chair on board because it has lithium ion batteries.
So the only way there is train\bus

This was the pre season test arranged at the last minute to spite the Bathurst 12hr race and with a set of conditions deliberately arranged to prevent any of the v8 supercar drivers from taking part and causing considerable problems to the teams which featured them.

The Lewis split from his missis will cost him the championship, his head won't be in the right place and will drive like a noob..
