Spanish Grand Prix 2012 is next!

With the controversy and excitement of the Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix behind us, all eyes are on Barcelona...


Last year Vettel won, who will it be in 2012?...

Barcelona is a delightful and seductive city in which to pass a few days. It is rich in architecture and heritage, has everything from smart shops to colourful markets, an endless selection of cafes, bars and restaurants and a beach. The locals snack continuously, grazing away the day via mid-morning tapas, a long lunch, afternoon pastries and a late dinner. They also stroll, mixing with the tourists along the wide, leafy avenues, in the shady plazas and markets and through the narrow streets of the old town. It is a city appreciated by both its inhabitants and visitors.

We can offer a hotel very central and an ideal base from which to explore the city with ample shopping, restaurants and nightlife on the doorstep. Direct flights from many regional airports mean you can travel at convenient times from an airport close to you.

For a longer break we are offering five nights in the resort of Santa Susanna on the Costa Brava, also with regional flights for maximum flexibility. Nestling between the mountains and the shore you can combine your race weekend with a relaxing break by the sea. If five nights isn’t long enough just let us know – we can extend your stay to a week or more if you wish.

Malaysian F1 Grand Prix now on sale...

The Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Kuala Lumpur is possibly the best value for money Formula 1 Grand Prix to visit.  Why not combine this and the Australian F1 Grand Prix?  

F1 in Malaysia is always an enticing prospect. It's always Summer in Malaysia, and the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix is a great excuse for a holiday. Idyllic resorts are in abundance and after a hectic weekend's Grand Prix racing you can fly away to a few days on a sunkissed beach, chill out and recharge the batteries. 

The F1 hotel in this package is centrally situated just minutes from the many markets, shopping malls and the Twin Towers. With a strong Chinese, Indian and British influence on its culture and cuisine you will find restaurants to suit all tastes. Most visitors try the hawker stalls where for a few pence you can sample delicious local delicacies. Track transfers are included and you can spend as much time at the Sepang Grand Prix track as you wish. 

Penang is a popular resort and only an hour's flight from Kuala Lumpur. The beaches are clean and white, there are night markets for those extra bargain buys and a huge choice of restaurants. Georgetown is worth a visit as are the many temples around the island. 

On both of these2012 Malaysian Grand Prix holidays alternative UK airports and direct flights can be arranged for you. We can also tailor-make your ideal F1 holiday to Malaysia – beaches, the rainforest or tea plantations - we can take you there. 

The Malaysian Grand Prix 2012 is just a week after the Australian Grand Prix - why not combine the two races? Call us on 01543 258631 to discuss the options.

First F1 Grand Prix of the season on sale now...

The 2012 F1 Grand Prix season kicks off in Australia and we are now taking bookings for the event.  Why not combine the trip with the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix too.

The southernmost state of mainland Australia, Victoria has massive appeal. The Great Ocean Road is a magnificent coastline, wild with ancient rock formations. Inland are the soaring sandstone mountains and waterfalls of the Grampians and the award-winning vineyards of the Yarra Valley. The city of Melbourne is vibrant and cosmopolitan with plenty of excellent restaurants and lively bars and the Australian Grand Prix circuit, in Albert Park just south of the Yarra, is just 15 minutes from the centre of Melbourne by tram.

It is traditional for the stunning city of Melbourne to host a Grand Prix at the end of the Australian Summer when the weather is ideal. Sport is what Melbourne does best and the 2012 Australian Grand Prix race weekend is a four day festival of motorsport. Access to the Albert Park track and grandstands is easy, the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix schedule runs to time, there are plenty of food and drink outlets and there are entertainments galore – the whole Australian Formula One event is extremely well organised.

If you are travelling this far then it would be a pity not to enjoy more of the spectacular scenery and sights of Australia. No visit to Australia is complete without spending a few nights in Sydney. Sydney Harbour really is breathtakingly beautiful and the best way to see it is from the water on one the many ferry boats which criss-cross Sydney harbour regularly. Fly north to Cairns, starting point for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest or drive south from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide. Across the water is Tasmania – the hidden gem. It’s pure and natural with plenty of unique wildlife and untouched wilderness. You can fly or take the ferry from Melbourne.

There’s so much choice and so much to see – just call us to discuss your plans and we’ll be happy to tailor-make the perfect Australian Grand Prix holiday!
