sorry for the delay, but I've just woke up from a beautiful dream called "Valencia street circuit"... after 12 years of watching f1 on tv, it was time to see a race live... why valencia? well, because I failed to see schumy racing - my idol since the first grand prix I ever saw - Spain, 1996 - so I needed something else, something special for my first gp and my options were singapore and valencia, the new additions to the f1 calendar...
I arrived at valencia on thursday morning, only me and a map... two hours later I was sitting near my tribune... only a few hours to wait

let the show begin... day one


after 10 minutes of being hypnotized by the cars, there is my first picture... not a good one, but it's still my first picture


the sicane from T18... great view


massa...


heidfeld...


rosberg...


from my tribune I could see half of the start/finish line and the pit lane entrance...



many cars speared off the track in that sicane...






I can't share with you the smell from the track, but I can share the sound...

day two...
I saw the 3rd free practice from another tribune... T7, where the speed was around 270km/h... at T18 was 127km/h... the sound, the feeling, everything at 270km/h was exceptional... but not my camera... actually I think it was me, because I didn't know how to make pictures (and not pixels) at that speed... but I think I manage to do something in the end...

Very nice pics, but I think we can also all see how unbelieveably exaggerated the runoff areas are.
In the Hamilton picture it´s like he´s driving on the parking lot of a supermarket.

Remember this one "A Formula 1 race without Ferrari cars is useless" ScuderiaFan

is everything you need if you don't have a screen at your stand, because from the half of the race you understand nothing... well, at my stand there was a screen, but a still wanted a kangaroo tv... actually, it was a gift from a friend who want me to have an unforgettable experience at valencia...
it's easy to use and you had the tendency to stare at the display only...but I didn't... from the very beginning I set up massa as my favorite driver and when there was something new about him (fastest lap, team radio etc) the kangaroo automatically put it on... most of the time I watched his on-board camera and the leaderboard (the same live timing from formula1.com) ... and I listened the audio commentary from BBC...
the kangaroo was rented for sunday only, but they had given it to me on saturday... I guess they had too many

@scermat
no...
I went on T7 to pickup my kangaroo (there was a kiosk in that area) and they let me in... soon I realised that I had only 10 minute to get back to my stand (half an hour far from there) and I choose to stay in that area, on a bridge over the track, where the cars were passing with 270km/h... I just can't describe you the feeling
