It’s easy to be excited about sports this year, even if you’re not usually a fan. Why, I hear you ask – well because, in case you’ve been hiding in a darkened cave for the past year and don’t know – we’re holding the Olympics in our very own London this year. Brilliant, well, if you managed to get tickets that is.
For those of us that missed out, but still fancy some sporting action – why not head abroad for one of these equally memorable events that will have the Olympic goers feeling envious, despite their tickets!
The Grand National, Liverpool
You don’t even have to get on a plane to enjoy one of our best sporting events. With plenty of history and tradition behind it, enjoy the atmosphere as well as the racing, as the huge hats come out to play and millions are bet on our most exciting horse racing events!
RBS Six Nations – Europe
Rugby is well loved by us Brits so if you fancy combing a brilliant sport with a trip across Europe then grab yourselves some tickets and get going! Interrailling is the new flying you know.
The United States Grand Prix, Texas
F1 is returning to American soil for the first time in 5 years and for the first time ever, it’ll be heading to the Circuit of Americas in Texas. The purpose built track holds 100,000 people and as the second from last race in the season – the atmosphere will be electric!
