Often people on the forum are travelling during a grand prix weekend and ask where they can watch a race. With help from you, here is a list of venues that screen F1 in cities around the world.
If you know a venue that's not listed, please reply to this thread, and I'll update the list below. If you just want to know what channel screens F1 in the country you're in, here's a comprehensive list of F1 broadcasters. And here's the list of venues (updated 02/04/09)... Australia Melbourne Charles Dickens Tavern, 290 Collins Street Belarus Minsk Jamaica Club, 10 Olshevskogo Street Belgium Antwerp Kelly's Irish Pub, de Keyserlei 27 – Statiestraat 20 Brussels Fat Boys Sports Bar & Grill, 5 Place du Luxembourg England London Dirty Dick's, 202 Bishopsgate EC2M 4NR The London Formula One Meetup Group France Nice Ma Nolans Irish Pub, 2 Rue Saint François De Paule Japan Minamitane, Tanegashima, Kagoshima Ken Kaminaka Moon Bar Tokyo Legend Sports Bar, Roppongi Poland Warsaw Champions Sports Bar, al. Jerozolimskie 65/79 (below the Marriott Hotel) Singapore Clarke Quay has lots of sports bars. USA Those nice people at Speed TV have made this list of venues in the US - thanks to CONOSUR for passing on the US tips you're providing to that Speed thread. |

Monte Carlo Casino sports book. (I travelled the length and breadth of the strip to find this baby...) You'll need to ask them to change the channel to Speed for you. |

updated after a jaunt to brussels on the weekend for an amazing (AMAZING) burger and a very dedicated bar owner who flicked between itv, setanta, premiere and sky italia to keep the english fans happy with james allen and the rest of us informed during the itv ad breaks!

hey jp, was waiting for you to get here! i was actually going to suggest in my last post that you would be able to help this thread out a lot...didn't want to be so presumptuous tho
@Tenmantaylor: i went to the first one last year at odeon angel, it was ok, the picture quality wasn't amazing, it was certainly not HD (and can't be with the equipment most cinemas have), but the sound was impressive. bernie is still doing it, you can see the listings here: http://www.f1incinema.com/bookings.php |

Actually, it would be quite nice if Autosport had a forum or page dedicated to something like this.

Looking for public watering holes around the world to see the race LIVE.
That's going to be tough here in London, but surely somebody is opening at 6am for the pre-race. Other cities should be a bit easier. Share what you know! |

ESPN Bar in Times Square: pain in the arse area to walk through, but they have about a million screens and will show anything you request. Get there early enough and you can order a booth, which gives you sound as well.

Give it a shot at a local sports bar in my home town of Nyköping, and they'd think you were kidding ;) F1 is as popular in Sweden as Icehockey in England :\

Hi,
I live in US, but have been temporarily relocated to Toulouse, France since a couple of weeks ago because of work. I am trying to find out the TV channel on which the 2009 Formula 1 is going to be shown in Toulouse, France. The biggest problem I have is the language. I don't know French  Even, if I manage to locate a TV channel, I am almost sure that it will be in French. Does anybody know if the BBC One is available in Toulouse? Also, does anybody know any podcast in English over the internet?
Thanks in advance for any information provided. |

I wouldnt be against making this thread sticky (would reside atop the RC forum thread list) throughout the F1 season as I think it will provide a valuable service to people travelling and wanting to watch a grand prix.
I think the first post should be updated regularily with country/city and location to watch F1. It should be about places to watch F1/motorsport and not a discussion about TV channels and coverage quality - these should remain in seperate threads associated with that country's broadcaster. |

San Francisco http://www.sff1.com/ I found this last time I was in SF for work and needed to catch Brazil GP 2008. Awesome group of people, watched the race with ~50 diehard F1 fans in a small pub. Can't go wrong! |

I'll also add a request for what channel to watch in China....I'm assuming CCTV-5? And do they carry all sessions live or just the race?
