That shouldn't be a problem. It's a very short walk from paddock to finish line. Even if there is a large crowd, less than a minute will get you back and forth.

That's the biggest problem with the new GP. Nowhere to sit and watch. For me the best place to sit and watch is at the about the 1/16 pole standing on a picnic bench. There are a few seats at the finish line, but you have to get there very early for that, and there is ZERO grandstand to sit and watch.

Or if you can get past the worker on the stairs leading to the dining room, thats a great place to watch the race halfway up the stairs. You'll see TAP watching the races there.
