About an hour after the race / qually. And on Friday for most of the day.

It's a brilliant thing to do. You get a real appreciation of the circuit and I got some great pictures of the marshall's signatures and messages written on the armco at La Rascasse and picked up some copper earthing strips from the pits.

As mentioned an hour after the race is best, it's almost as if you can still hear the echoes of the cars bouncing off the walls and buildings around the track. And the views are amazing.

Yep, I agree with all that, TJ. Great atmosphere.

This was last year:

Is it worth heading down to monaco and going to monaco on race day to watch at a bar or whatever with race tickets? Looking at prices of flights, hotels it's going to cost enough and as above it looks to be a fantastic atmosphere

There have been a few recent threads discussing issues on going to the Monaco GP, and it's worth reading through them to check out ideas and suggestions.

Here's one to start with:

Thank you greatly - the search was not working when I last tried.

I walked the track last month - the barriers were just up and they were building the pits. Great experience and it will change watching the GP as I have a far greater understanding of the track.

Or drive round. You don't need a ticket to walk round on Friday PM.
