Join the grandstand crowd for Schumacher’s return

Since the news was released last week that Michael Schumacher is to come out of retirement to drive for Ferrari and cover for Felipe Massa as he recovers from the crash at the Hungarian Grand Prix, the UK’s leading motor sport travel specialist Grandstand Motors Sports has seen a 200% surge in traffic to its website.

Motor sports fans are racing to get tickets for what could be the last chance to see Schumacher in action and also witness the prospect of current World Champion Lewis Hamilton taking on the seven times former World Champion.

With only seven races left to the end of the season and only three in Europe, tickets to Valencia on 23rd August, Belgium on 30th August and Italy on 13th September are selling particularly well at the Leicester based company. However demand for the Singapore race on 27th September and the new race in Abu Dhabi on 1st November, which is also the season finale, have also seen increased demand.

Commenting on the season so far and this unexpected demand for tickets Di Simons, general manager of Grandstand Motor Sports said “The dominance of Brawn F1 and Red Bull has stunned and enthralled us all during the first half of the season. The recent re-emergence of McLaren and Ferrari has added a new twist and now there's the promise of a head-to-head between Hamilton and Schumacher on two of the best circuits on the calendar. With all this going on the races at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) and Monza (Italy) will be awesome. Our phones are ringing non-stop and demand for rooms, flights and grandstand seats is incredible”.
