All-access including grandstands (excepting those over pitlane), paddock and ability to drive anywhere inside the track. I don't think paddock access is even available at F1 races anymore, at any price. Last F1 race for me was Indy and they put tarps up on the fence around the paddock so fans couldn't even LOOK in - that was the beginning of the end for me.

With ya on that one. LOVE the paddock access you get in the relatively low rent series. The smells and commotion are such a huge part of the experience. Went to a Rolex event years back at NJMP and the entire experience was just awesome. Total access for a pittance. I'd rather be ON the track but lacking the skill and $$ needed i'll take the third best thing (crew being second best) and wander amongst them to watch it all.
On the Miami subject did anyone else actually see Gasly do what he said he did in that accident? His story and what I saw on the TV didn't seem to jive. Wonder if he didn't just screw up.
