Formula One fever takes hold

Following a nail biting finale to the Formula One season in Brazil last week, the ripple effect of Lewis Hamilton’s world champion winning ways are already being felt in the UK where Grandstand Motor Sports, the UK’s leading motor sport travel specialist, who have just launched their new first edition brochure for 2009, are already reporting unprecedented demand for tickets to next seasons races.

“There's been so much excitement, especially in the second half of the season and since it became clear that Hamilton had a real chance of securing the title” said Diane Simons, general manager of Grandstand Motor Sports. “The fans will love having a World Champion once again and will be eager to travel to watch their hero in action next year. British motor sport is on a real high and this win has cheered the whole nation.”

The Formula One season spans March to November and there are tours to suit all tastes and budgets. For example, a 9 night holiday in Malaysia costs from just £1399 per person and 3 day race tickets start from £105 per person for the Malaysian Grand Prix on 5th April 2009. Alternatively, for the Spanish Grand Prix on 10th May, Grandstand is offering 5 nights on the Costa Brava in a 4 star hotel, or 3 or 4 nights in Barcelona from £599 per person, plus race ticket. Package details have yet to be finalised for the New Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which will be the final race of the season on 1st November 2009.
