Big, BIG, F1 Screen

Friday April 25, 2008

Organizers of the Spanish Grand Prix boast the installation of the biggest screen at any F1 circuit so that the spectators get a view almost as good as television watchers....;-)

I'm in the paddock at the moment but have not seen the screen. I understand it is visible to 22,000 spectators and it is 2152 square feet in surface area. That sounds big indeed. It uses the 16:9 format and the sides of the screen are used for showing the results and the telemetric data and other race information. It is located in the Stadium zone, between the La Caixa corner and the Banc Sabadell corner. It can be seen from the grand stands B,G, C and H.

If you do not have the good fortune to be here in sunny Barcelona, however, then turn on your television and computer. At Formula1.com you get the timing screens.
