Eye-watering grandstand prices at the French Grand Prix this year, so it's Bronze seats for me.

Would anyone have any insight into which I should be considering?

Saint Baume after the first big corner?



Chicane Entry?



or Le Beausset?



Thanks in advance for any advice.

We were at Le Beausset last year and it was a good position. However we will not be going this year due to terrible facilities and organisation.

Thanks for the reply. I went for just before the chicane in the end.

Yes, I had heard about 2018's nightmares. I aim to get up very early on qualifying and race days that's for sure.

Thanks again

The whole Grand Prix weekend was a farce last year. We spent 6 hours sat in traffic on the Friday and never made it to the track.

Saturday, we got up at 4am and abandoned the car in some grubby, waste land. The car park staff were largely 14 year old girls screaming (in French) at each other as it was raining. There was no assistance given or co-ordination at all.

Sunday post race, and the entire region ground to a stop for 5 - 6 hours, as the dirt track in and out of the circuit were, surprisingly, quite busy.

The only saving grace was the race was cheap, and now your telling me it’s expensive this year. Good luck, your going to need it. I
