Need help booking a formula 1 holiday!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, looking at euro ones. Thanks

This was the company we booked through:

www.bacsport.co.uk

it really depends on the circuit as to whether a specialist sports company would be helpful. Spa is amazing but it is in the middle of nowhere and it would have been hard to get there. BAC sports arranged for us to stay in Maastricht which is beautiful and transport us to the circuit. It was a city break and formula one event experience all in one.

I’ve done both Barcelona and Budapest. They both have the advantages of being great places for a city break too. We booked independently and flew out on the Monday, so we had a few days in each before everything gets started at the track.
my advice would be to think about the weather when considering what type of race tickets to get. For Budapest I’d recommend a covered grandstand (we were in the one on the main start/finish straight, it was great). My friend who had also gone, was in an uncovered grandstand and got sunstroke.
Similarly, if it is likely to rain (eg Spa) I’d also want to be covered.

I've done Silverstone twice (first time I grabbed Jean Alesi's Ferrari glove when chucked them into the crowd after he broke down next to where I was standing!), Spa twice, Monza once, Barcelona twice and San Marino once.

For me, Spa is absolutely the best; the weather is unpredictable so better racing, the hilly course is amazing, you can get really close to the track and there's stalls selling chips and mayonnaise. Fab!

DH and DS go to Monza regularly. DH is Italian so gets tickets from an Italian website which are a heck of a lot cheaper than silverstone equivalents ,then it’s cheap flights from Stanstead and Air BnB about 30mins from Monza.
