The whole tour was very enjoyable with the GP being the main event. You ran the show perfectly. As a single traveller it is good being with other enthusiasts and you never feel you have to be on your own.

The best aspects of the tour were the overall organisation, race arrangements, Monday excursion and winning the sweepstake!

The city sightseeing tour and the Bosphorus cruise were great fun. My highlight of the tour was the Turkish nightclub, great entertainment and food. And of course the race. MRI provide great service. Keep up the good work and see you at Spa next year and Australia 2008.

C. W. (TK3)

Excellent arranged tours and Grand Prix.
H. L-S (TK3)

For the drivers this circuit must have been a bazaar experience – a track which has character and good curves. If you want drama sit at the last corner and if you want scenery sit at turn one. The city brands itself as “One Lap, Two Continents” – you will leave not disappointed. If you only ever experience Formula One once in your life, this is the place to do it, but make sure MRI is there to guide you.
M. A. (TK3)

Good parking at the circuit, especially close proximity to our grandstand.
R. A. (TK3)

Hotel (Kent) convenient for both track and facilities in Istanbul.
