I am also quite an F1 fan. I went to the 2006 Hungarian F1 GP, and it was one of the best racing experiences I've had. For the most part, everyone is very repectful and there were no issues at all.

My only bad experience was during lunch, were some British guys stole my table and knowingly too. When they went to sit down, I informed them that my dad and cousins were sitting there, and they just said "first come first serve" which absolutely made NO sense, since I got there first. My dad found another table anyway (which was smaller and more private and on a balcony, so it ended up turning out better).

Anyways, back to the cars themselves. They are CRAZY loud. And I mean loud enough to make you grit your teeth and hold back tears from the pain unless you are wearing ear plugs. I had on ear plugs and I still held my ears because the plugs weren't enough (but my hearing is also more sensitive than average).

I copy pasted this from a previous post which includes pics, vids, and info.

The camera is a Cannon PowerShot SD500. It's a little over 7 Megapixles.

Anyway, here are some facts about the race and F1 in general (for those who aren't familiar).

Winner: Jenson Button (Honda)
Poll Position/Top Qualifier: Kimi Riakkonen (McLaren Mercedes - my favorite driver)

Engines:
~1300hp
2.4L V8
20,000RPM's (Here is the video that shows the dyno of one. The rev limiter is set at exactly 20,003).

Car:
Maximum weight with driver: 600KG. Approximately 1320lb.
Brake system running temperature: 600-1000* C (Thats about 1112-1832* F)

And Finally, here are the pics. In the pics, you can see Fernando Alonso (who ended up winning the championchip) and Kimi Raikkonen's cars on flatbed trucks after they crashed. I have Raikkonen's crash on the video. He was taken out by Luizzi of the Red Bull Ferrari Team when he was trying to pass him.
