British GP, 1993, 94, 95, 96 and 98 plus I'll be going this year as well.
Goodwood Festival of Speed 1995 and 1996.
Too many BTCC meetings to possibly mention plus various other bits and pieces.
I keep aiming on doing a foreign GP, but haven't quite got that far yet!

Gerard, there's no answer to that!

My meagre score:
British GP 1973,74, 79 thru 90
Euro GP 1983,85

Also:
World Sports Cars Brands 1983,88 Donington 89
Le Mans 1999

And more Historics meetings than I care to think about - what can I say - the race programmes now fill a bookshelf!

Australian F1 GP:
Adelaide 1992, 1993, 1995
Melbourne 1997, 1998, 1999 (and 2000)

CART:
Surfers 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 (and 2000)

GP Bikes:
Eastern Creek 1992

Bathurst races:
Super Tourers 1997, 1998, 1999
Might do the V8s this year.

Rally:
Perth 1999 (and hopefully 2000)

ASTC/ATCC/V8 supercar:
Many times to Oran Park, Eastern Creek and Amaroo Park, including all of the triple challenges at EC (for those few out there who remember the event).

Plus various events at Oran Park, Eastern Creek, Amaroo Park and Wakefield Park. Also John Bowe testing at Lakeside (1999), and HQs practising at Symmons Plains.

I also suggest to everyone to visit Longford in Tasmania to see the old track there which was used for a number of years by F1 and various other cars. A very nice track around Longford including a really really long straight. You can't follow where it went due to bridges being out and a new road over the top of part of the track, but if you can find the viaduct which the cars went through you can still see the Shell logo.

I've only been to two Grand Prix, Spa in '96 and Monaco in '98.

I won't go to the British GP while tickets for the whole event are £350.

I'd much rather spend the same sort of money having a week at Le Mans.

The 99 bends road going into Queenstown is amazing, a sheer cliff on both sides and sort of enough room for two cars to pass each other.

Oh, that is an amazing piece of road...im certain there wouldn't be a scene like that anywhere else in the world. There's some fantastic roads in it, Elephant Pass on the eastern side of island is incredible, there are no stright bits in the road at all through the forrest....

MY meagre score:
(Though now that my son is getting old enough, I have some one to drag with me)

US GP at Watkins Glen 72,73,74,75,79
Can-Am and WSC at Watkins Glen 73 (Mark Donahue in the 917-30!!!!)

I've sent for tickets to Montreal in June, but I'm not optimistic about getting seats.

I've been away too long, and I'm itching to get back.

Never been to a GP, but I have twice been to Le Mans- I didn't realise it was an endurance event for the fans as well as the cars/drivers! Great value for money!

I've also been to assorted events (mainly historic) at Donington, Silverstone, Goodwood and Castle Combe

Congratulations on getting the tickets EERO.
The list on this thread is for those who have actually been so unfortunately you'll have to wait a few months yet.

The good news there is thread for where people are going in 2000 and I have made sure your on the list for that.

Now you can see who else is going, so if you want to meet other 10/10ths members your life is made easy!
