Day 1 - Formula 1 GP

Today was the best Grand Prix day I have ever had in my life. Firstly I had paddock club tickets, secondly I got to do a Pit walk, thirdly I met heaps of Drivers, sweet, and finally the best thing, I was invited by a Williams Team member to have a personal tour of the Garage. This came about after I spent the whole day standing out the back of the paddock club waiting for drivers to walk past and get a photo. Phil (Marketing manager) from Williams F1 then came up to me, said he had seen me standing there all day in my Willams shirt and asked if I would like a tour of the garage. I wasn't allowed to take photos in there, but he took one of me standing in front a car. This was the most amazing thing ever. I was shown all the departments such as tyres, bodywork, telemetry, weather monitoring, engine and was rubbing shoulders with the drivers and boss. Again, Amazing.
Nothing can really top this day for me.
