Pre-season testing 2013

Post

it's time to make my winter plans so as to fit in my usual 4 day visit to at least one of the tests
but there doesn't appear to be a firm schedule as yet ...have I missed something ?

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

lost the thread !
in france , yes , but not in the winter , too cold ! south of spain is better then

unfortunately all these dates are too early in the year for warm weather ...although jerez is south it is too close to the atlantic , a month later would be ok ... if they could move it !

frankly pre season is a mess with such a crowded calendar , none of these dates would give any probability of some warm temperature testing ; last time I was in barca for the final test I was stuck in the snow for 5 days the week after !

looks like I shall pass this year...pity

Lucky... as you get to see the cars early... I got to wait a whole year at the Indian Grand Prix.... By then the cars would have changed from what they were...

Are there chances of getting into the track marshal programs during the testing period? It would be a wonderful opportunity to have a look at the cars, how teams work etc....

they don't need nearly as many marshalls as they would at a race meeting ....all the ones I spoke to seemed to be locals
