We went to Monza in 2016 for the F1 race, Rosberg drove away from the field. Our seats were at the Ascari chicane. The Porsche cup race was very entertaining. Those guys beat on each other like NASCAR in the 70's. Per the Captain I can highly recommend it for a European F1 experience. We stayed in Milan, the food and wine was fantastic.
I have been to almost every road course in the USA including Riverside and a few of the major ovals (Indy, Fontana, Daytona). I prefer Road America and Watkins Glen for the viewing and park like atmosphere. Back in the 80's and 90's you could climb down the hill and get near the track between the kink and Canada corner at RA. It was really something to see the Cart Indycar's at full chat on the straight. DL
