Has anyone been to Jerez or Catalunya before for testing? Wondered what access to the circuit was like.

I'd like to know this too - not decided between the two yet.

Catalunya is excellent - went last year.

I cant see these dates confirmed on the Formula 1 official site - does anyone know if the source of these dates is accurate??

Went to Jerez for a trackday , its an excellent facility.

Access is also good and its a lot cheaper than Barcelona

Jerez is fine, went up there 3 times last year. Only an hour away in car for me.

Access is easy via flights of course, track is oooh...10 min drive away?

Last year they were re-seating the granstands for the (then) upcoming MotoGP so we had limited access for 2 of the days, 3rd day we wangled being able to walk around the circuit. Was only €5 euros to get in too. Highly recommended, and Jerez is a nice city to visit to boot.
