What a horrible experience for a Formula 1 track...

What a horrible experience for a Formula 1 track. The first year we attended was just for race day. Rained most of the morning and everything was a mess but we figured it was just due to the rain that day. Next year we decided let s spend a little bit more get great seats, parking pass and be there all three days biggest mistake ever. Rained again this year no big deal. We were prepared this time around. Once we arrived to the track and went to park at the lot we noticed almost every vehicle was getting stuck in the mud. Everyone was directed to park in reverse so that the tires were on the center gravel. But no one really noticed what type of drive train each vehicle had and people were still getting stuck. We parked didn t get stuck no big deal. Now we had to walk out of the lot through this mud.

Now getting into the track. Only one both of security at the entrance which made a huge constraint trying to get everyone in. Thank you for keeping us secure, that wasn t the problem. The main issue was there was just a couple of security personal to process this huge amount of people coming in. None of the entrances were covered either. Once we made it in guess what?! We realized it was just another mud pit. So what did the track decided to do? Let s put mulch all over the standing water and mud trucks after trucks were dumping mulch somewhere on the track and personnel were taking them around and just dumping them trying to cover up the mess. Golf carts were another issue. These people were flying by just pushing the crowd with the their carts. We made it in. cool!

With our 3 day pass we got tickets to the concert but were worried with all this rain and all the mess we ve seen what would that area look like? We figured it was going to be a huge pile of mulch but we gave it a shot anyways. Another big mistake. One single line on a side walk since everything surrounding us was mud and water. People cutting the line, people pushing. we decided to just leave. On to race day. Still mud and water everywhere. Still mulch being added. More people so the entrance took even longer. We made it in no biggie. Oh and if you had to use the bathroom there was only one main bathroom the rest were porta-potties. Which is fine but huge lines and if for any reason you needed a regular bathroom it was towards the main straight. We survived so it was ok. Now to seating. Loved my seats as there was a lot of action. But we were really worried as the foundation of these bleachers was just full of water and mud. Oh and when you enter the bleachers to get to your seats there is no signage. we later found them. they are on the steps so if your seats are lower you would have to go down a step and look back to see what row it is. Awesome let s create more traffic .

I am really disappointed by this as I ve been on both sides of the crowd (Motorsport and spectator) and expected more from a formula 1 track. Big joke as they only care about the money coming in from the race and have not done any updates to fix these issues. Looks like they moved the dates to accommodate for the rain this year lol exactly they just care about the money going into their pockets.

Thanks!
