Formula one noob.... need tips

[horseman]

F1 races are more than just noisy. They are actually painful if you are close to the track. Not a gentle roar at all, more like high pitch screaming.

That's all part of the fun. You get used to it (as you damage your hearing)

Thanks for all the tips..
Have a pair of Peltor ear muffs to save the hearing now

I believe "Tooheys" have the contract these days.

I will be sticking to champagne then!

I suspect it would be wise for me to invest in the $35 live timing app on my phone for the next 2 weeks. Pricey and not even close to the functionality that FanVision offered, but it is better than nothing or trying to figure out what's going on by looking at a faraway video wall!

I will be running it on my iPad in the seat next to you

Definitely a big problem for those races taking place in parts of the world where english is not the first language...commentary duties are shared between 2 or 3 different commentators in different languages. I can only imagine how annoying that will become this year with no FanVision units available to listen to BBC/Sky audio.

I downloaded the free android app this morning however it was not working...whether it was a problem with F1.com or the site, I am not sure.

You could just look over simongr's shoulder or you could download the free app and purchase a single race instead of the $35 season pack.

I wonder what they serve in the Paddock Club, hope it is bubbles as well

There I was thinking I had better service the air conditioner and it's the race instead!

Since the paddock club is run by an FOM subsidiary, it's probably Mumm as they're a partner of F1.

Goody!

I didn't know you could still get the single race pass - hopefully the mobile coverage at Sepang is of acceptable quality! Will grab a local SIM when I get there...

Hope the weather improves for tomorrow. Just received my tickets for tomorrow, have fun everyone. Thanks for the tips

So if its raining Sunday evening they can't really delay the race by much or else it will get too dark! Bring back the 2pm start I say. But then I also say bring back Adelaide. A much more interesting track.
