Ideal. If you're near a grandstand the tension rises nicely and makes it a different experience entirely.
Last year I got chatting to a German chap who lived in Austria on one of the viewing platforms. He was a really interesting guy and had a 1920's Bugatti that he was talking about... I got the distinct impression this was just one of his collection, but he was interested in talking about the Bugatti as there was another one doing the hill climb.
It was the first time I'd taken the time to watch the shootout for years and just chatting to random enthusiasts between cars and batches was thoroughly enjoyable.
