Attending the F1 in Monaco this year was supposed to be my 60th Birthday celebration. I'm seriously pissed about this.

2008 Monaco GP.....
We sat in Casino Square in a raised seating area with a view of the cars entering Casino Square and coming straight at us; the Casino was nearly directly in front of us and the Casino Hotel was to our right; there was a large tv screen directly in front of us so we could see action at other areas of the track; it rained the first 1/3, a dry line was being established the second 1/3 and then it was WFO the last 1/3....HAM was in his second yr in F1 and won the race; it was simply frightful to see HAM flat out through Casino Square....just inches from the Armco guardrails; oh....the sound of 18,000+ RPM F1 cars echoing throughout the principality....

2008 Monaco GP Trip....
After a week in Tuscany, we took the train to Venice for a few nights before traveling to Nice and using this city as the link via train for the Monaco GP....
After a night of dining and wine in Venice, we were walking down a side street and my wife said...."is that a Ferrari Store?"....in the middle of Venice on very small streets we found this....and Michael Schumacher's Scuderia Ferrari F1 car in the window....

Thank you -
Greetings MKSixer!
You're welcome....it was surreal stepping off the train from Nice on race day....100,000+ arriving for the GP; an interesting note regarding our physical tickets....we had to go to a redemption center where we had to show a ton of ID and supporting documentation that we had bought the tickets on-line before they gave us the actual tickets; I still have the official program and t-shirt!

I've never been to the Monaco GP but I was at the 2008 and 2010 Singapore GP. I remember the sound of these cars in between the high rises was so loud, people got literally sick from it. In 2010 we travelled with a baby and even in the hotelroom at the 22nd floor with all windows closed the noise was unbearable.
