Unfortunately not much roar anymore, hopefully 2017 when the regs change Mr Scrooge
The support races are still loud, no?
V8 Supercars and Porsche very much loud. Hearing protection advised for those especially for young ears.
No roar at all. Could even hear my friend talking sitting next to me on the first lap. That's not meant to happen!
I must be the only person who likes the sound of the turbo cars. They're really meaty at low rpm (especially noticeable on cool down laps and practice) and the turbo sounds pretty good.
I ike that you can hear the tyres squealing under load and I love not having to wear and carry around hearing protection for four days.
Don't get me wrong: the v10s and v12 were great, but the turbos are still enjoyable.
Startled by how wussy they are???

V10 was the best era
The voice of Formula 1, the Murray Walker era, will never be passed

Have they had their navels pierced yet?
General Admission sucks balls. You get stuck next to beer swilling bogan swearing throughout the race while wearing a singlet and commenting on how much better the V8s are, or stinky English backpacker who comes in to sit between your legs 5 minutes before the race starts, despite you having reserved your place on the grass since 9am for a 3pm race start. When you tap English backpacker on the shoulder, he ignores you, despite the enforced intimate position he has put you in, and continues to smoke cigarettes and get sunburnt, displaying his pasty chest and arms covered in bad tattoos for all the world to see.
This is general admission.
I've been to the Melbourne race a few times, as GA and in the grandstands. Problem with GA is that if you find a good place at the apex of a corner, about 10 minutes before the race starts the area is invaded with quite aggressive people pushing through to stand in front of you. "Excuse me, excuse me" (feigning politeness) as they wedge themselves in front of you and stay there.
They're the same people you find at a packed concert who keep saying to their mates 'how do we get to the front?' when there are 5000 people already there.

And at the Sydney Harbour Foreshore on NYE.
So true.
If you think GA is bad at Melbourne, you should see what it was like in Adelaide with half the track and 2-3 times the crowd…. Atleast you could see the cars still. As for F1, they can't give tickets away thanks to the awful turbo era changes, it's put me off going again, and saved me good money in the process….
Adelaide had 250,000-300,000 on race day? I find that very hard to believe. That would have been most of Adelaides population back in 1995
Adelaide has the record race day ever till Monza 10-15 years later. 210k, and instead of being smart you'd realise people came from everywhere to see it. Melbourne has regularly had 100k, One year Melbourne had 60k paying customers. Adelaide is regularly double the crowd.
I find silverstone in the UK much better. Regularly get over 1 million people on race days. Sometimes the smelly Australian backpackers are a little annoying though….
What? The only way you'd get a million people to Silverstone is if you counted the fact that all the pissed up poms are seeing double and you counted the Wayne Rooney Tattoos on their shoulder blades as people. You are out by a factor of almost 10 times. The only place that draws a million people at a time is in the middle of Saudi Arabia, you won't be seeing a race car and smelly poms certainly aren't welcome.
Why are you going around the world smelling poms?
If they are seeing double then there are 500,000 people attending. (Tattoos of football players excluded).
keep calm sunshine:)
Since Silverstone doesn't get much more than half that number of attendees - for a record attendance, over the entire 3 day event, not a race day - I find that you're blowing it out of your a**e.
What would happen on the Thursday event? Can we see any cars doing practice atleast? I don't think so, as they are advertising practice sessions start on Friday. So is it worth even considering Thursday as an option?
The main cars have never gone on track on a Thursday. With the exception of Monaco, I don't believe anyone else does or has.
Sorry to be picky but the F1 cars did have a practice session on the Thursday of the first Adelaide Grand Prix in 1985.
Thursday is good cause sponsors hold comps to walk through pit lane and there's no one there. Which means you win said comps and get to walk through pit lane when the teams aren't too stressed
My "kids" might enjoy the grass on the paddock but they'd be startled by the roaring engines…
