Objective: Pack in as much of F1 as possible and obviously see new places
The two F1 stretches where you typically have races in consecutive weekends are
1) Monaco – Catalonia
2) Nurburing (Germany) – Budapest
Already been to Budapest and therefore the 1st options looks great.
The drive along the coasts of Spain should be great. See the route map below.

My last Europe tour, guided by Navigon’s Iphone offline GPS maps says select the options of
1) Scenic drive
2) avoid all motorways
3) avoid all toll roads
4) take as many wrong turns as possible
to really experience a great drive.
Potential schedule
- Book car at Monaco with drop off at Barcelona
- Monaco – land and explore Monaco on Saturday with the 1st F1 on Sunday
- Monaco – Barcelona drive – as per Google map, if we follow the above route, it is a 21 hour drive. With 10 hours of driving everyday, with lots of stops and intentionally taken wrong routes, reach Barcelona on Thursday morning
- Stay at all nondescript places, extremely cheap etc, if you like the place than extend stay by a day types during this drive
- Set Barcelona as base and drive to Catalonia
- Budget permitting do a Saturday – Sunday F1 program
- Fly back on Monday afternoon
