Curt 1 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Is anyone else here heading off to Suzuka for the GP. I've been given some tickets and thought it might be worth a laugh. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 No, I've fallen out with F1 but I'd still like to go to get the atmo and all - hope you have a good time, let us know how it went. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I didn't know it was this weekend, I wonder what the crowds are like there now compared to a few years back when it was more interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I think Sato will be flying this weekend I wish I was going there. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 there isn't at all any kind of atmosphere like you would find at the Aussie GP. Typhoon should make it interesting too. giving it a miss this year. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 You been a few times then Indosnm? Whats different from the Oz race then specifically? Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Pity, coz its one of the best tracks. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 The whole festival/carnival atmosphere. I can only compare it to Adelaide GP which i went to every year, that was a 4 days fest, and wrapped up with a huge concert at the end of it. It was the only time of the year that Adelaide came alive! The whole city was a buzz and you couldn't avoid it because the whole damn city was GP crazy. Here you wouldn't even know that it's on. Race queens would be nice to see Link to post Share on other sites
pjem 0 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday. Got to pack. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 The big party down in that famous bar at Suzuka after the race is supposed to be fun. Can't remember the name, something like the Cabin ..?? Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I hear they've cancelled Saturday... hope you get your money back. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 no refunds as you can only get a 3 day ticket. This year tix have sold out because Sato is doing well. Link to post Share on other sites
window-cleaner 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Looks like you got a good day for it today... Melbourne gp is excellent too, a great weekend even if you're not into the racing. Link to post Share on other sites
pjem 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Saturday weren't much fun but yesterday was a good laugh. I know what you are saying about atmosphere though, there wasn't much apart from the SATO angle. Fun experience though. Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It's a shame about Friday and Saturday but I'm glad the race can go ahead on Sunday. It seems BAR a little mistake in strategy perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Not too bothered about not going. I actually watched the whole race this time and, sadly was bored again. Oh well, I enjoyed it while I enjoyed it. ( ) Link to post Share on other sites
