Information from Motorsport Turkey:
All tickets are sold out.

All grandstands and open spaces will have huge giant screens.

Once on the track, there will be shuttles that will take the fans to the stands. These tools will run continuously.
In addition, the fans in the stands can use these services in the Fan Zone.
It is forbidden to bring food, drinks and umbrellas from outside. That is why we recommend that you bring a raincoat.

You can eat/drink behind every grandstand/open space and in the Fan Zone. Team/track items will be available in the Fan Zone.

After the GP of Turkey, the doors of the stands will not open.
The public can therefore not go to the track for the stage celebration.

I couldn't find an official statement from Pirelli either, but I read it in another Race Topic about Turkey. :)

Edit: Last year the track was very slippery. In the past year, the circuit has been sprayed with water several times
under high pressure (waterblasting). It should be better now.

When I look at ECMWF, GFS and GDPS models, all predict rain or rain close by during the weekend, so anything is possible still.

You copied from last year's thread didn't you :lol: I guess with instagram culture being so prevalent, the city's name's gonna turn to Instanbul for real soon.
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

More like 15 C, and rain showers. Still a week out tho, so neither would surprise me. More info and my view about the subject here.

Hmm redbull sectors 1 and 2. Mercedes sector 3. Will 3 be enough to make up for 1 and 2?
W12 could be 0.2s a lap slower. A repeat of Zandvoort if Merc cannot make it up on the straights.
For Sure!!

I'm cautiously optimistic for the Ferrari's this race. Track alone looks like the SF21 could do well, and with the engine upgrades, it could surprise.
