Cars exit the Parabolica and rocket down the straight hitting 350km/h just metres in front of you before braking hard for T1. The start is from here, pit lane activity is directly to your left, and 53 laps of Ferrari tifosi packed around you create a noise level that makes conversation impossible. Covered roof means you stay comfortable in September heat while the Royal Park bakes everyone else.
