I've experienced mild hearing loss from exposure to loud noises. If you get the right ear plugs you can still perfectly hear all the sounds, just a little quieter.

TV screens all around track, try get a spot on a slower corner so actually see them as they go past.

Silverstone radio was over loud speakers or was for MotoGP.

Yeah a slower corner will be better so I can actually get pictures I doubt I'd get many them doing 150mph+

My goal for Spa is to watch practise on a fast section (thinking Eau Rouge for one session and Pou-hon for another) and then watch quali and race at a braking/traction zone (bus-stop chicane).

The cars are incredible at full chat, so worth seeing them at least once during the weekend - but the best viewing is definitely braking zones for both overtaking and seeing the cars stop/go - it's incredible.

I watched from club grandstand last year, could see bikes coming down hangar straight, round stowe, big break into vale, round club and disappear down pit straight.

Probably sit there again or get a spot on grass at vale.

Club Grandstand is a great place to sit, and I think there's abit next to it that you could go to for general admission. You can't reallty sit at Becketts any more There might ne somewhere on the outside of the track, but since the pit building moved they had to take the inside grandstand down to put in access to the new pits. There's a small area of grass next to where the grandstand used to be, but you can't see anything without standing up.
