Arrrrrrgh! You must make the Tour and meal! Looks like most of us are staying in Bologna but i have another email going back to Faenza to clarify dates and lodging options. I am also going to see if and where the majority of Minardi fans/clubs sit and coordinate with Minardi.
Also, I spoke with the Responsible for SAGIS (the tickets agency for the San Marino GP) and they told me that this year the F1 teams have no discount as they have already a special price due to the 25th S. Marino GP anniversary.
So please have a look at their official website www.imolacircuit.it (English version) where you will find the tickets' price list and the map of the track with all the grandstands.
The most expensive is, of course, the "A" which is the one in front of the Line. We use to suggest to our guests the "I" which is the right compromise between location and price. From there you are able to see the garages, but it's quite cheaper than the "A". Anyway, have a look to the prices & map, then if you need more info let me know.
AND THIS!!!!!!
PS: As from yesterday the Minardi Club Melbourne is an official Minardi Club and it has been added to the Clubs' list on our website.
is the flight to Bologna or to Forlì? they have different airports. If you arrive to Folri you can reach bologna by train
I just telephoned the Forlì airport for you.
There's a "tram" (how is it in english? a kind of electric bus) from Forlì airport to the station (it takes 5 minutes), it's the number 2 ("numero due", begin your italian lessons). Then from the station there's a train to bologna every 30 minutes. It's about 60 km, you get there in half an hour, roughly (it also depends on wich train you take). I don't know the price, but it shouldn't cost more than 5 euros.
p.s. lesson number 2: Forlì has an accent in the end, so you pronounce it, as it was written "for lee".
Well, to be realistic I guess I can have no more than 3 days, the wwekend. I was thinking of going there on friday, to see qualif and race sat and sunday with you. The I'd go back home on monday (in Italy that monday, 25th april, is a national holiday, the Liberation from the Nazis, it's like your 4th of july).
I guess I'll come with a friend of mine. Where to stay? I told you, I'd love us all to stay in the same place, so we can go out for dinner to eat some pizza and drink good red wine. So it's up to us all to make up our mind. The best option is Bologna. For sure. Beautiful city, close to Imola, not too far from Faenza.
Now we just have to count us and then we can book the hotel. We have to buy tickets for the circuit before 31st jan to get the discount. Then we'll book the hotel in Bologna.
Looks like Tuesday but if both you and Salvo can't make that then maybe I should look into an alternative date for you two.... if Minardi does not take the Monday holiday off...?
Waiting on woed from Faenza as to whether or not there is a combined effort by all of the Minardi Clubs to sit in one place - same as the Minardi non race employees. When I get word on that I'll let you know but if not then Salvo's idea of Tosa Alto is okay by me.
Murph - I know you sent me that site with pics of the track from the various stands. As you are retired how 'bout posting some of those pics so all the participants can take a look at the views and help in the decision.
Thanks
Good job Viges. This will be one of the finest hours of of racing lives!

2) I can make it for the week end, to see qualifying and race with you.
But we have to book tickets all together, to stay in the same place.
3) I didn't understand, where are you going to stay? Bologna? Imola?
Let me know, to book the hotel.
4) If you've got any problem with language, just ask.

Congrats to Junior and his gang down under!
All joking aside this should be epic.

You will have to quit your job and go on the dole until after Imola.

The trouble is they say they fly to bologna with forli in brackets??
Could you help me out salvo? how far is that airport from bologna? I know Forli is about 100ks from bologna is that where the airport is?
How much is a train ticket between the two going to cost?
they have different airports. If you arrive to Folri you can reach bologna by train
I just telephoned the Forlì airport for you.

Nevermind Quig, enjoy the tour, maybe sat or sun morning the team could allow us to take some pictures together. Impossible?

Didn't someone say Tosa has a good view of Villeneuve up to Piratella? BTW we are going for seats? Tell me we are - viges doesn't do standing.
