Open-wheel ~ Formula 1, IndyCar, Formula E

F1wild — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 01:32:44 GMT

Here we go....

I'm strictly open-wheel myself. What F1 races have you attended? I've been to the U.S. Grands Prix in Phoenix (back when they were the Iceberg GP), all of them in Indianapolis, multi Canadian Grands Prix, multi British Grands Prix, German GP at Hockenheim.

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but the FE inaugural series opener is this weekend in Beijing. It will be shown on Fox Sports.

I am strictly open wheel too. I liked cart before they destroyed themselves. My Mom took me to my 1st race when I was a little girl, Monaco. You never get over Monaco. It is simply the most demanding course and amazing skills to run that circuit, wish it were wider. LOL Once the F1 bug bites you it is for life.

F1 because they turn left and right, chicanes, start from the dead stop, and race in the RAIN or Monsoon.

Long time F1 fan. One of my earlier memories was going with my family to Watkins Glen USGP in the early 1970s. Hope to attend Austin GP in the next few yrs and the NY-NJ GP (if it ever materializes). My dream is Monaco!

F1Wild- Try Monza. You'd adore it. (I grew up in Europe, Dad was military.) I promise the amount of red in Monza is unbelievable and you know how much red you see at the races in general.

Who ever has Monaco on the list. go for the week take in the whole spectacle. You'll love it. You never forget your 1st Monaco, mine was so long ago, Andretti and Fittipaldi were racing, Mario and Emerson. Wow, did I just date myself. Lol

Myself I want to go to the Canadian. I am not sure of any others right now.

I followed Schumacher since his bad boy days with Benetton, when he "might have" acted in a less than sportsmanship like manner. LOL

I was supposed to go to Monza once when living in England, but it didn't work out. I was never a huge Ferrari fan as I generally cheer for drivers rather than teams. Being an Alonso fan has prompted my red appreciation...and Luca stepping down?! Wow!

You have to go to the Canadian! Montreal's a fantastic city, anyway. Plus, the whole downtown is all F1 all week! We used to party with the Minardi pit crews at a certain pub, then breakfast where several of the drivers frequented. Plus, the track is gorgeous.

Oh green with envy. I can't wait to see that circuit up close and personal. I remember when cart used to race there as well. Beautiful course. Plus I am a huge hockey fan so double trouble visiting Canada.

I can't wait to go back. Only problem with Montreal is you never know if it'll be scorching sun, torrential rain, or freezing your nether regions. Of course, coming from Phoenix, any "weather" is super fun!

F1wild, how did you get a chance to go to so many different races? I wld so love to travel to follow the F1 calendar. I have joked with my friends that after the lottery win we will charter a huge yacht to follow the races around the world.

The U.S. ones and Canadian I just wanted to go so arranged and went. When I was dating my husband (soon-to-be ex-husband), who is from Great Britain (N. Ireland) we made decided to go to the British GP. He has an Aunt in Munich, who we visited from time to time. We also drove around the country, went to race in Hockenheim. We also visited Bremerhaven and found the house where my Grandfather lived. We took my parents to Europe one time and drive all around. Once you're in the UK & Europe it's easy to travel around.
