General information
The
Grand Prix de Monaco is the most glamorous
of all Formula 1 races. The setting in the
streets of Monaco is unique. Grandstands
are built at the most difficult locations.
With only around 30,000 seats it is always
selling quite fast. Problem with a street
circuit is that all stands are temporary
and they do not offer great comfort. Restrooms
are also not great, but you can go into
a restaurant and order a drink and use theirs.
Prices in for the Monaco GP are also out
of this world. The few "cheaper"
stands (N, P, X and C) sell out really fast.
The General Admission area Secteur Rocher
is located to the side of the city centre
and is quite literaly a hill side. It is
far away from the actual track, but the
vibe is great. Racing in Monaco takes place
on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Viewing quality
The major downside to a street circuit is
that the view is limited to the stretch
of road in front of your stand. Add to that
the fact that they pass really close to
the stand so you cannot even see them below
the stand the actual time you can see a
car is limited to 1-4 seconds per lap. Now,
what are the best locations in Monaco? Stand
C is a good one as it is locate in the corner
entering the tunnel. You need to walk quite
a bit to get there though. Stand E in the
chicane after the tunnel exit is also good.
the large K stand is good, depending a bit
on where you are. T high is good as it offers
a great view of the new pit lane. Screens
are scarce so be careful to choose a stand
with one.
Prices
If you want to visit the Monaco
Grand Prix you will have to spend a
bit of money. There is no comparison with
other races. Prices are extremely high with
Weekend tickets for the popular K stand
at almost 800 Euro. If you are going to
spend the money choose different stands
for different days. The most popular stands
are K High - in the harbor - B - at the
Casino - and T High - overlooking the pit
lane. Stands N, P and X offer the "cheapest"
seats for the Grand Prix at around 300 Euro.
The Secteur Rocher is by far the lowest
priced ticket at around 80 Euro. The view
is very limited from here but there are
alot of people on the hill creating a rather
unique atmosphere with the sound of the
V8's echoing from the the buildings.
Best Deal
The best deal on F1
tickets for the Monaco Grand Prix is
the T High stand. Located after the swimmming
pool just before Rascasse it offers a view
of the newly designed pit lane and has a
good screen in front of the stand. You can
also decide to take the T Low stand provided
you order it before February March as they
will sell the highest rows first and you
can still get a glimpse of the pit lane
action. If you want to visit the other days
as well try the K stand for Saturday with
a beautiful view of all the boats in the
harbor. Budget choice will be the Secteur
Rocher but you will not see the cars up
close.
