Once l was able to get to the tour, it was great. Unfortunately, the confusion over the ticketing process and locating the meeting point was terrible. I almost did not go because l purchased my ticket on one day. The next morning l was emailed it was cancelled, only to receive another email indicating it was now back on. Almost did not go! Please fix these things for future customers!

Great opportunity to get up and close with sights you see on TV plus being able to go to areas that you can't get to on Grand Prix weekend. Tour guide was knowledgible. Arrival arrangements are an area for improvement for those not familiar with the venue. Tickets were available through Headcount that were supposedly sold out through other organisations

It is a great way to see the circuit without attending a race and buy expensive tickets. I loved the fact that there were cars on the circuit for training maybe, but the noise and the feeling where very intense. Highly recommend this tour.
