Was just looking at going to the Vegas GP, its only a 16hour drive for me.

2200$ standing tickets for Saturday wow just wow. That’s not travel, lodging, or food costs.

I checked for Sakura GP, we could fly to Tokyo, Hotel, and GP tickets. Plus stay for a week with $2k travel costs. Not including food and other fun expenses.

I’ll take my foreign vacation with a dash of F1 please. Also maybe they have a Yukon grandstand. Go Yuki!

Vegas and Miami aren't races for us common folk, they're for the socialites.

We have Monaco at home

Hmm always wanted to go to Japan, sounds like a extra reason to go

Gotta love that there are now races in America so us Americans can keep flying to Europe to watch races

Or Canada, which is what I'm doing lol. ~$450 for a grandstand seat at the hairpin all weekend. But I think Zandvoort might be in the cards next year, I've heard that's a pretty reasonable race to attend as well.

Right. Even Canadian GP is pretty much pricing me out.

[–] PriorProject@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How do? Ticket prices in Canada are among the most economical: https://f1destinations.com/ranked-how-much-do-f1-tickets-cost-in-2023/.

Are you getting hit on airfare/accomodations compared to the other inexpensive international races?

[–] Fluffysquash@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plus why go to Canada when you can go to Europe?

I see you've never been to Montreal!

Yeah I was excited with the Vegas news since I'm only 4hrs away, but then when I saw the prices I couldn't believe it. I'm close enough to drive there but not close enough for a turn around. When you factor in hotel/event costs and traffic, I could only imagine the nightmare it would be to try and make a weekend out of it.

My friends and I were talking and for the price we could also just go to Moab or St George area and go rent UTVs for the same price and actually get to drive some fun ass vehicles. Still be in the desert.
