Any tips, I am looking into the idea of attending the race, now that there is no race in North America. Hows Parking, which is the best of the cheap seats, whats the best value for qualifying seats, hotels, driving, flying? Any information from those who have gone or those very familiar with Monaco, Southern France, and/or West Italy
What i am asking is, whats the best bang for a buck, I do understand the cost is going to be high. I only plan to be there saturday and sunday.
I did Monaco on the cheap.
Cheap flight from the UK to Nice. Hire car from Nice to San Remo in Italy ( much cheaper than the hotels in France).
Drove to Monaco on qualifying day ( Saturday ). Absolutely no where to Park. Had to park on a multi storey, inflated prices due to Grand Prix. Had a wonder round Monoca, and found my seating area. These where the cheapest tickets, could not see very much, due to the safety barriers. Decided to leave my seat and watch from the road side.
Went back to the car park. Ther barriers where broken so I could not get my car out for over 1 hour.
Race day, watched the Grand Prix on the TV at the Hotel.
Unless you pay for the best seats, the chances of following the race at Monaco are slim. Because it is a street circuit, they build large safety barriers, which makes it dfficult to get a full view of the circuit.
Monaco is more about the experience, than the race.

Ryan. If you are asking which are the cheap seats, I’d say to you to go to another venue.
If money is no object…because that is what Monaco in inherently about, then go for it. As for prices, I’ve got no idea, but I should think you wouldn’t get much change from $15k all in, unless you don’t eat and drink for 3 days.
Plane ticket return…..$2000
Accommodation……..$6000
Ticket…………………..$2000
Miscellaneous………..$5000
These are guesstimates
