Second, I really liked that camera. I spent a lot of time choosing when I bought it, and it had almost all of the features that I wanted in a camera, and a really well-designed set of controls. Plus it had a really good quality lens and took great photos. To lose that camera really broke my heart. The race was exciting, as any follower of Formula 1 or the Monaco Grand Prix should know.
Every year there are problems at that corner.
We also had a fairly good view of the big projection screen showing the television broadcast. The screen gave us the overall impression of the race, and we could see the individual cars as they came around the corner on each lap. These cars are loud. It's hard to describe how loud the engine is as the driver downshifts on the corner and heads uphill away from us. We were a good hundred yards away and the noise was physically painful.
