It’s possibly one of the most glamourous sports in the world, so why not make this year’s summer jaunt a jet-setting adventure to see some life in the fast lane.
Very fast, that is, as we’re recommending some Formula 1 action this summer.
With Thomas Cook Sport’s summer packages, the experience is more within reach of the everyday sports fan than one might think. A three-night break at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July is on offer for €465, with flights from Dublin from €342.
This is the perfect couple’s option if you fancy something a little out of the ordinary this year. He’s certain to love the action on the track, and as well as getting wrapped up in the excitement of the events you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled for all the celebs doing the same!
Sport aside, July in the majestic city of Budapest is something to savour, and the Thomas Cook ‘ground package’ comprises 3 nights B&B in the 4-star Danubius Helia on the banks of the Danube, with a 3-day viewing ticket in Silver 8 grandstand at the famous Hungaroring, where Lewis Hamilton triumphed in 2012. Transfers to and from the hotel to the circuit on the Saturday and Sunday are included, as are the services of a rep, and an event pack with lanyard and even earplugs! Price is €465 per person sharing, with flights to Budapest from €342 extra, departing Dublin on Friday, 26 July.
Set on a manmade island, an especially popular F1 break later in the year is the night-time Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 3 November, with guests enjoying 3 nights in Dubai at the Ibis Deira City, a 3-day ticket at the North Grandstand with transfers to the circuit on the Saturday and Sunday, and an event pack. The welcome drinks reception and access to evening concerts at the circuit are typical of this decidedly 5-star event. Cost with Thomas Cook Sport Ireland is from €1,579 per person sharing on a B&B basis, with flights from Dublin to Dubai.
