rimfire4969 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I was lucky enough to go free some years ago when Coulthard was still driving. I went with my old firm for practice, qualifying and race day in and out by helicopter. I was entertaining our top clients in the Johnathan Palmer Autosports hospitality, breakfast lunch and dinner plus drinks all day with a private stand on the back straight. I enjoyed it but cost me nothing, even better I was being paid to be there, no sure I would pay much to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Compliance function in most Financial institutions have clamped down on a lot of it. I remember the good old days when I was rarely in the office June-August.

Fisherman Mike Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Father in law blagged me a corporate weekend with Williams a few years back..He was then FD at one of the main sponsors...did the Didcot tour, pit access, practice and watched the race all from the comfort of a nice leather armchair in the private enclosure, met the test drivers, drivers, team, pit crew and the great man himself...even got a free Oris watch for my collection. All travel and accommodation provided. Must have cost a fortune but a grain of sand in the desert compared to the corporate sponsorship deals being done. Always will remember the smell in the pit area especially when the cars are warming up before practice. Used to go every other year when I had the bike or CD, Thruxton or Brands.. great day out all sports fans should experience at least once, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even had a private plane with about 20 others to see England lose to Argentina in the World Cup in Saint Etienne when Beckham got sent off. Some of my mates were very upset with me as I don't really follow football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Don't forget goodwood revival in september !!! tickets have just arrived Great day out, we have been twice now. Big money like all Goodwood events, but when you see what they put on it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
