Just a heads up for all the F1 fans in the UK, you can watch British GP at Vue cinemas on one of there big screens in HD and 5.1 Surround!

Just been and got my ticket!

Apprently F1 is going to make its HD debut in britian!!!!!

Formula 1 will be screened in high definition in the UK for the first time on the weekend of the British Grand Prix.
But the high definition coverage will not be offered on public television - it will only be screened at 30 of the Vue cinemas around the country.
Vue are charging a very steep £15 per seat - but they throw in a copy of the official programme plus popcorn and a drink. There are 7,000 places available at their multiplexes nationwide.
The live race broadcast will be free of the advertisements which interrupt ITV’s coverage.
It’s great to see HD F1 finally becoming available in the UK - and it’s another measure of how the sport is gaining popularity with the amazing progress of Lewis Hamilton.
But many fans will be impatiently awaiting F1’s HD debut on British television. ITV boss Michael Grade is demanding that HD broadcasts be made available via the Freeview digital service. Let’s hope he gets his way and F1 on HD TV becomes a reality in the UK very soon. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/06/2...ut-in-britain/

I would love to go, but I can't see any of my mates who barely even like F1 to pay £15 and watch it.

But HD has better definition than real life.

£15! They can sling their hook at that price. Three times the price of a film and it could easily be a boring procession.

Programmes serve two purposes. 1, To be read while you're getting bored waiting for the event to start. Not something you'd read in a cinema. 2, To be kept as a memento. I can't see many people digging it out of the attic 10 years later saying fondly "Remember that day we went to the cinema"
