FORMULA ONE IS BACK ON TRACK WITH MOTOR RACING BREAKS FROM PAGE & MOY

From Mike Hawthorn in 1958 to Damon Hill in 1996, the UK has produced more winners than any other country, yet the nation has not had a world champion for over 10 years! Now it is Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button’s turn to take the spotlight and as the nation gets behind them, can either be the first to take the chequered flag? If you would like to support British drivers in Formula One this year and visit some of the most famous race tracks in Europe, have a look at the selection of breaks on offer with the UK’s leading motor sports specialist, Page & Moy (0800 043 0234, www.pageandmoy.com).

Fierce, exciting, glamorous and never without drama, Monaco is considered by many to be the highlight of the F1 calendar. Catch all the action from your grandstand seat, as the race twists and turns through the historic streets of Monaco, one of the smallest but wealthiest countries in the world and the favoured playground of the rich and famous. With Friday traditionally a rest day, this presents an ideal opportunity for a spot of sightseeing and for visiting the many elegant boutiques. Don’t miss the spectacular harbour, the Palais du Prince – official residence of the Grimaldi family for 700 years, the beautiful Jardin Exotique and world famous Monte Carlo casino.

As the preferred test venue for many teams, the unforgiving Circuit de Catalunya serves up one of the best combinations of high-speed corners and straights for adrenaline-fuelled top class racing. When the day of racing comes to a halt and the engines stop running, why not take time to explore Barcelona, one of the most exciting and visually impressive cities in the world. Prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning architecture, the beautiful shops along the elegant Passeig de Gracia and excellent restaurants and lively bars of the Barri Gothic and La Ribera districts.
