Yeah not a bad way to go about it, but unfortunately I think I'm smart enough to realize that I SHOULD start on 250, just can't handle how gay they look (or justify spending the money on the decent looking 250's only to f**k it off 6 months later)
But yeah don't think I'd ever get the license just to have in case I decide to hire one for a weekend to hit the motoGP..
My mrs did say she'd buy me a gixxer/R1 after we've been together a year which only fuels the desire even more lol
Don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow, but I may go...Used to go every year but haven't been for the last 2 I think... Never been in the grandstands either so can't really help you there, but would probably get a grandstand package if I go next year..
Without having sat there myself, and not knowing the names/positions of all the stands without pulling up a map, I'd imagine sitting at the turn 1 chicane at the end of pit straight would be good, especialy on the first lap and the few laps after that when it's still relatively close.
Sitting directly across from the pits would be good as well if you're into F1, seeing all the pit crews etc at work.... Pretty sure all of the stands have a big screen within view of them as well, so you get the best of both worlds..
