    as cute as a button, like it ;)

    ..anyway

    not sure if you know F1 goes from Britain to Australia and everywhere in between
    so factor that into your costs of the prezzie, bahrain or Oz or Monaco france or Italy you choose this should give you all the info you want http://www.formula1.com/tickets_and_travel/ lucky b*stard! ;)

    the really stand out race tracks would be Belgium (SPA), Monaco the classic street circuit and a great holiday destination on the french riveria, Italy (Monza) atmosphere and a classic, or if your feeling adventurous and weighed down with moolah Brazil (Interlagos), Canada, or just over the water in Britain Silverstone. Id steer clear of the asian and eur-asian circuits.

    Thanks for the link :)
    I was looking at the Monaco one,i've heard its the best but very expensive. Silverstone is also an option but I was looking at Gerany too,is this one of the less popular ones?

    the German one (Hokenheim this year) is very similar to the Italian Monza one, but one is an atmoshere of raunchy passionate italians and the other well...their germans!

    Belgium one is probably the best, so is monaco in a different kind of way, depends what he likes, is he into the history of great racing tracks (Spa) or atmosphere better weather and the french riviera instead of a belgian mountain forrest.

    with Spa its much less of a senses overload than monaco, depends what your into, Id say cant go wrong with monaco.

    If my GF got me a trip to a monaco gp, she would be Mrs Ucd!

    I'd side with Spa or Monza on this one, Both your guaranteed a good race and complete Ferrari nutjob supporters at Monza are great too.. If money is an issue i think the cheapest tickets are at Catalunya, E99 for a three day General Admission (Standing)

    You cant really go wrong with either spa or monza, personnel id go for monza myself been there a good few times and you cant beat it the tifosi are pretty crazy. Also if your planning on going with him it would prob be a better wkend for both of you. monza is only 15min on the train outside milan its self. I havnt been to spa but its on my 2 do list for sure, but as far as i know its in the middle of no-where, also there is a fair chance of rain at some point over the wkend, you might not fancy getting soaked at an event you really have no intrest in!

    Which ever event you decide on he will luv it, my best mate got me tickets for monza for my 21st one year, honestly the best presant i ever got.

    Spa is about 45 minutes on train from Brussels.
    Plus you'll need a bus too and this may take a while.

    And man you haven't torrential rain in Ireland to compare with Spa!

    OP, if I were you I'd take the boyfriend to Monaco or Monza

    I like your username too :)
