I had an awesome time!
Very picturesque, locals were fantastic, interesting history, excellent traditional food (when eating in old town), brilliant weather and being so close to the cars when on track really made my weekend.
There are some issues with track safety that have been mentioned and needed improvements. The local Baku marshals were exceptionally keen, albeit under trained for the event, but that didn't stop them wanting to learn and welcome our experience and knowledge (although the Bahrainis at my post were a little less welcoming to our knowledge and experience, but overall they were fine).
There has been some real investment into the F1 Baku Circuit and although organisation was a little questionable and communication between marshals, posts and race control were somewhat confusing, your going to get some issues or "rough bits" as its their first time.
Overall it was a fantastic experience, I'd never thought about Baku for a destination, but would recommend a long weekend to check the place out.
If its on next year, I'm 100% going as a marshal!
