I have just seen the prices for entry to the Indy 500

86th Indianapolis 500-Mile Race - Reserved seating sold out;
General admission $20; 5 and under free
- Gates open 5 a.m. - 6 p.m.
- 11 a.m. - Start of 86th Indianapolis 500

No wonder why Ecclestone is worth 2.9 billion quid!

I thought the GT race at Brands Hatch was better value than the British GP. Anyone watch the San Marino GP?

I still think clubbie evnts are the best valued sports events in the country. 10 races, 12 quid, i love BRSCC!

I didn't all of the SMGP, I was interrupted by a big mac shouting my name!

I don't remember seeing any Smashes, flights, off's, spins, blowups, there were a few retirements, but no spectacular ones like Gerhard Berger when his beneton let go a few years back leaving the second chicane at hockenhiem!! Thats when engines used to LET GO! Just as he came into shot a nice plume of White Smoke left his gearbox/engine and obscured the view all the way down that straight if I remember correctly! Great Stuff!!

There are no tickets left for Sunday for the British GP. However the Saturday costs £55 entry. So how come it only costs about £18 to watch the greatist race on earth.
