Monaco or Indy?

If you only see one of these events, which is it?

I have been to both. Now lets see . . . do i want to go to the Indy 500 and sit in the stands and watch the race in Indianapolis Indiana or would I like to go to Monaco and hang out with the rich and famous? That's a tough choice, so let me throw something else into the mix . . . How about the Formula 1 in Macaw? Let's see, Formula 1 Racing, Casino Action and the 3rd floor of the Golden Dragon Hotel!

This is a NO Brainer for me!

Do they have a MotoGP in Monaco?
I'd have to pick Monaco. I've always wanted to try that game they play in all the James Bond movies.

I'd say it depends on whether you like beer, or wine.

Indy is a beer lovers event - Loud, very fast, in-yer-face speed. Lotsa' fun-lovin' folks in the infield, Hot Dogs and burgers on the BBQ grill for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, maybe some booby flashin', down to earth fun, in Indianapolis. Great motor Racing Museum as well. Chance of rain - 40%.

Monaco (never been there) strikes me as expensive wine sippin', a little more sophisticated, super models whom you'll never get to talk to, trendy, expensive restaurants, and upturned noses? But it's in Monaco vs Indianapolis? Chance of rain - dunno.

My $0.02, and worth every penny.

Been to Monaco and Indy. I wouldn't mind saying I've been to Monaco twice.

Been to F1 3Xs. Guess I'd go to Indy, then LeMans or Pike's Peak.
