Re: austin pit walkabout
There will apparently be 4 or 5 pit walks, but only for the people in the Paddock Club, probably a $10,000.00 ticket. LOL!

Wow, that's a lot of cash for a pit walk. At Spa it's free when you have a weekend pass not matter what seats you have. I always take the cheapest tickets and can go to the pit walk.

Re: austin pit walkabout
Unfortunately, there is NO pit walk for us common folk. The Paddock Club starts at $5,000. When I called COTA yesterday, and voiced my displeasure with this decision, their response was "Well, this is our first year". My reply was "Do you want people to come back next year?"

Re: austin pit walkabout
Bernie or his underlings decide what anyone gets to do or not do and how much it will cost! Someone already reported that there is no access to the Historic F1 paddock either! Resistance is futile, you just have to learn to love how it feels!

Good old Formula 1 - welcoming its fans with open arms. Not.

Re: austin pit walkabout
Unfortunately, you are not going to get a Pit Walkabout for "common folks" and expect someone to pay $5000+ for Paddock Club privileges.
For the life of me -I don't have any idea how F1 does well with the current product. It is seriously overpriced and overvalued.
Me, I hope to get to Montreal one more time in my lifetime. It is really the city I enjoy.

Re: austin pit walkabout
As I have stated before on here, the common person, ie most of us, have a few specific roles to carry out at a Grand Prix. We must pay an overpriced entry fee, we must buy over priced refreshments, we must buy vastly overpriced team merchandise, we must sit in a grandstand to make it look full on TV and finally we must remain seperated from the VIP's by a barbed wire fence but at the same time we must keep VIP's egos inflated by clamouring for autographs etc. I no longer attend Grand Prix meetings and I have no intention of doing so again.
