it's time to make my winter plans so as to fit in my usual 4 day visit to at least one of the tests
but there doesn't appear to be a firm schedule as yet ...have I missed something ?

That was all I could find. You're in france, correct?
Lucky... as you get to see the cars early... I got to wait a whole year at the Indian Grand Prix.... By then the cars would have changed from what they were...lebesset wrote:lost the thread !mx_tifoso wrote:1. Jerez: 5.2. 2013 – 8.2. 2013

in france , yes , but not in the winter , too cold ! south of spain is better then
unfortunately all these dates are too early in the year for warm weather ...although jerez is south it is too close to the atlantic , a month later would be ok ... if they could move it http://www.f1technical.net/forum/postin ... 1&p=388585#
frankly pre season is a mess with such a crowded calendar , none of these dates would give any probability of some warm temperature testing ; last time I was in barca for the final test I was stuck in the snow for 5 days the week after !
looks like I shall pass this year...pity
they don't need nearly as many marshalls as they would at a race meeting ....all the ones I spoke to seemed to be localsmach11 wrote:Lucky... as you get to see the cars early...

Are there chances of getting into the track marshal programs during the testing period? It would be a wonderful opportunity to have a look at the cars, how teams work etc....
