If you have a hard time getting spouses or daughters to go, you might mention to them that Taylor Swift will be headline act for the post race concert!

Good news as it seems to provide good races so would have been a shame if it had dropped off the schedule

I was lucky enough to see the race live last year. I highly recommend the hill on the outside of turn one. Possibly one of the best general admission viewing spots in the season.

If, you care about hearing and seeing as much of the cars as possible, its better than a lot of the premium seats. If you get a good spot on the hill, you can see:
  • from the start of the front strait all they way through the exit of turn 2
  • parts of turns 12, 13,14
  • turn 17 all the way through turn 19.

Come race day get to the gate at the bottom of the hill early, like 90mins before the gates open, because it is a mad dash up the hill to grab the best spots.

Taylor Swift? Didn't she used to make chassis for Formula Ford?
