I think the trees on the banking have some sort preservation order, as some rare birds nest there.  You'd think they had more sense.  So I suspect the banking will stay, despite the pisspoor view, but holy merde are we getting into a "Monza" problem

Is the welcome area for ACO memebrs only?

[knetter]

You can buy your GA ticket with the Welcome supplement, usually around 15 euro's I believe.

By ACO member do you mean Club 24 member........if so then I will be able to get my own crumbs.

Who wants to be in the center anyway, it does not provide good viewing of the track. Been there two years ago and it was rubbish.

[Paddy_NL]

it's handy if you're at the poobar and need to go to the toilet

[termietermite]

Knetter, I think you're confusing it with the members' centre in the village.  This one replaces the old restaurant and is in a new site at the end of the pit lane. The viewing looks as if it will be stunning.
It remains to be seen what the entry requirements will be!  You probably need to be an Audi dealer....

Exactly, I was referring to the new building at the end of the pit straight. Not the old museum (?) building.

interesting images.  the new block houses at the roundabout, look like permanent ticket boxes, I wonder if they are intending to make HA like MB and bring it into the circuit?

I have always thought that HA didn't actually belong to the ACO and that it was only let out as a campsite for race meetings. Has this changed?

[termietermite]

I think but don't quote me, that this marks the edge of the ACO's property, and the new perimeter fence will be either side of the booths, which mark the entrance to the new tunnel.  The new stadium will be next to the tram terminal, and the car park on the bits of HA outside the fence.  Does that make sense?
