Hey GP goers,

My buddies and I will be graduating from university this spring, so we've decided to leave the cold shores of Canada and head to Europe to properly celebrate the end of our academic lives (for now, at least). We are planning to backpack for two months, during which the timing/location will be ideal for us to see the German GP, and possibly the Belgian GP. In the likely event that you were on the trip, and could only choose one of these races, which would you rather see? Also, should we go general admission or grandstand seating?

Another question: this is a little off-topic, but whatever. Being the competitive guys that we are, we want to go racing to find out who the best driver is among us. Are there any tracks/programs in Europe which allow people to rent low-formulae cars to race? If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a good go-kart track? Thanks for your help.

My choice would be Spa. Found the german circuits to be unfriendly and not very watchable to be honest. Spa though I found to be the opposite and some fabulous watching points. Was not so good from a working point but that you don't have to worry about. Also make sure of your clothing as the weather can be unpredictable sometimes.
Your other question I cannot help you with as I have been out of that loop for a long time. Best probably to get on the net and contact the various schools that are on your itinerary.
