I took this video form the grandstands today. These cars are unbelievable to watch. They are pulling over 5Gs braking here from 200mph to 40mph for the hairpin turn -- all in about 100 feet.

Practice sessions? Damn! I wish I could have gotten some tickets to go there, but I was sleeping at the switch, so to speak...:nonono:

Is that turn 11 right there?
Edit: Nvm I don't think that's turn 11.

Friend of mine took a pic with the car. She also took a pic of a 599 GTO that was there and a GT3 RS.

F1 is really awesome to watch. These were our seats at this years race in Montreal. The left was the end of the longest straightaway on the track (where they hit over 200mph) and then coming to a very very slow almost 180* turn. Talk about getting on the brakes...

As great as pics and video are, they don't do them justice..it's one of the most unbelievable things to see in person..the sound, the speed, the acceleration and deceleration are just insane. I'm fortunate to live in Montreal where we have been able to host the F1 race for many years at one of the F1 circuits most historic tracks. :)

Those cars just make me smile. You cant even appreciate them until your standing on a corner they are accelerating out of. The speed is amazing. I worked on a Indy team back in the day and they are just amazing.

I took some video from Turn 5 on race day. We were in row 3, so close to the track. It was an amazing experience.
