There are some positives and some negatives..
I really liked the unfettered Paddock access (once we managed to get there!!) and liked being able to stand very close to the pit entrance. There are some good locations for taking photos without catch netting getting in the way.
The commentary was it's ebullient self and generated interest in the races.
Although they did seem to get the corners wrong a lot!!
The buses on Saturday worked well
The FanZone was a little shabby, but welcomed and a lot of freebie bits here and there.
The screens were handy
The negatives.. The lack of access from outside to inside the circuit is a real oversight. Even LM is easier to get to and from the outside of the circuit!! The lack of sheltered seating for eating was disappointing, again even at LM they have a few sheltered areas, just simple.
Anyway, it was a good weekend of racing and the ELMS race was entertaining, until it just got too wet and we realised (a few mins before it happened) that it was going to be red flagged whilst behind the Safety Car, so left early.
All in all quite good, but could do better!
Not sure of the spectator numbers, don't know if they ever publicise or release such information. The fia live stuff on their website was good
Even more so as I couldn't make it on Sunday.
It makes Spa quite tempting!!
