After hearing that F1 is coming to America next year for the first time since 2007,(Austin, TX) myself and some family members have decided to also travel for a race next year.
I am not much of a world traveler, I travel quite a bit in North America but have hardly any experience outside it. I was hoping you guys/gals here could give me your insight on the locations and your choice if you could go to any of them.
Budget is not determined. Race weeks are more expensive than normal in all countries. After some research, Monaco, (which would be my first choice) is probably the only one absolutely out of reach.
What is the weather like for approximate time of each event? It would absolutely suck to go half way around the world to see a shitty race in the rain. For this reason I have not ruled out Malaysia, but it seems to rain hard for that race every year.
We have been to the Canada race so It is out.
We will probably spend 7 days if that matters, so other things to do in the area would be great to hear about.
I appreciate any input-
