Search Travel Online Take Formula 1 Pole Position with Great New Spanish Grand Prix Packages
Last year, a sell out crowd of nearly 116,000 were on hand to celebrate Fernando Alonso's Spanish Grand Prix win in the F1 driver's own country. This year, Search Travel Online is offering three exceptionally good value holiday packages that promise to combine the excitement and unique atmosphere of the circuit de Catalunya with the rest and relaxation of a Costa Brava beach holiday. Packages start at just £249 per person which includes a hotel in Costa Brava, Spanish grand prix tickets, and return flights.

London, UK (PRWEB) May 4, 2007 -- The 11th of May sees the beginning of the Spanish Grand Prix and while watching the event on television will be enough for many Formula 1 fans, seeing the circuit de Catalunya first hand in the glorious Spanish sunshine is an entirely different experience. With just over a week until the race begins, Search Travel Online has announced a brand new selection of holiday packages encompassing both the famous race and an opportunity to relax on the glorious Costa Brava beaches. With prices starting from just £249 per person, Richard Seal, Sales Manager at Search Travel Online, seems intent on offering F1 fans the magic of the circuit de Catalunya at a surprisingly low price:
"This is the first time we've been able to offer Spanish Grand Prix holiday packages, and we're really excited," he commented. "The Catalunya circuit has a great atmosphere you can't appreciate from watching the race on TV, and we really believe that watching a Formula 1 Grand Prix from the stands is something every sports fan should experience."
"Hopefully the low prices we've been able to offer on these packages should encourage a few F1 fans to take the trip and enjoy the race in the Spanish sunshine," he added.
The package comes in three formats, all including Spanish Grand Prix tickets, return flights, and breakfast and buffet dinner. These deals range from the 'Pit Stop Package', (from £249 per person,) featuring two nights at a 3 star Costa Brava hotel, to the 'Pole Position Package' (from £309 per person.) The latter offer includes return transfers from the airport, return transfers to the circuit de Catalunya and an additional night in which to take in the sights of Barcelona or to recover from the F1 excitement on the Costa Brava beaches.

British Formula 1 fans may be particularly interested in seeing 22 year old Lewis Hamilton compete in Spain. Hamilton has made an incredible start to his F1 career, becoming the first ever driver to achieve a podium finish in his first three World Championship Grand Prix. This amazing start has led to many pundits laying on the superlatives, with Jackie Stewart claiming he could win the 2007 F1 Championship in his first year. Martin Whitmarsh has even stated that Hamilton has the potential to become the greatest Formula 1 driver ever.
Last year's sell-out Spanish Grand Prix was won by Fernando Alonso for Renault, making him the first Spanish Formula 1 driver to win at his home country's track. Indeed, the circuit de Catalunya has seen some memorable races since opening in 1991. Few F1 fans will forget Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna taking the entire front straight side by side in the track's opening year, or Mika Häkkinen losing out on first place due to clutch failure on the final lap ten years later.
Although recent years have been dominated by Michael Schumacher (6 wins) and Mika Häkkinen (3 wins), Britain did have a period of dominance in the early 90s with Damon Hill (once) and Nigel Mansell (twice) winning the race. Fans looking to see if Lewis Hamilton can buck the trend this year would do well to check out Search Travel Online's package deals, for what promises to be the F1 experience of a lifetime.
