Welcome to show receipts, which is a series where we ask interesting people to share exactly the cost of completion of shit. Regardless of the task, we follow each other dollar from start to finish. Until the following: Being 1 “Fangirl”.
A small girl, Christine Foster You never imagined that F1 Fangirl became one day, but in many ways, it was inevitable. She grew up as she called her “Formula 1-adjacent”-her father and brother were fans of the Australian series of racing V8 Supercars, and of course, her favorite movie was “Cars” from Pixar.
“I was scheduled to fall in love with motorsport,” I told PS. After diving in “Formula 1: Driving to survive” in Netflix in early 2022, it soon became obsessed. Almost at the same time, the sport has been going through what was referred to since then in the name of “”IntendBy March 2023, she attended her first grand prize race, a pivotal moment that turned her new hobby into a profession.
“I noticed that this sport was gaining popularity among young people, especially girls, yet the sport was not a welcome to that demographic at that time,” she says. Determination to change this, Foster started creating F1 content on Tikhak Because “she wanted to make young girls feel welcomed and appreciated in the motor sport space.”
But being F1 Fangirl is not just a small hobby; It is a full -time Vandum. “This frankly reminds me of worshiping one direction or Justin Bieber,” she says. But like most feelings, it also comes at a high cost.
“Formula 1 is known as a luxurious heritage sport,” which “comes at a high price,” she says. With any high -level event, you often have to wear the nine clothes: until Formula 1 recently announced a partnership with Louis Vuitton, and over the years, it strengthened her position as a fashion event. “What I wear is a large part of it, and I spent a little bit over the groups,” says Foster.
How is everything outside? Below, we asked Foster a glimpse of F1 Fangirl expenses. Full disclosure: Not all F1 Fangirls are also content creators like FOSter, but the numbers below reflect a year in Foster’s life, including the cost of attending the Australian Grand Prix, investing in new creators’ equipment, and a network sparkle experience (a prominent and exclusive event describing it as “F1 Met Gala”).

How did you do that
As a content creator, Foster enjoyed some privileges, including receiving goods from a few of its favorite teams. However, the majority of expenditures associated with its F1 experience comes out of its pocket. Here, her visions share and advise those who look forward to become F1 Fangirl and attend the Grand Prix.
Note: What are the most surprising expenses of the year?
Christine Foster: stay. Last year was severe, and I booked my residence on the day when the weekend was announced, which was six months ago. I don’t think it is worth it to be proud of the accommodation because the paths of the path are very long even as you return to your hotel, you take a shower and go to bed. You don’t really enjoy the hotel of the hotel. Next year, it was held on the suburbs to save money there.
Note: Where were you able to save?
Kf: Mirch. It is costly, but there are all types of retailers who can offer pieces that decrease the price points. Abercrombie offers a group of Merch team, and I usually get my things from there. The starting point will be at Abercrombie about $ 31, but if you get Merch from the actual team, it will be more than $ 75.
Regarding the budget with food in the path and everything else, my mind knows that it will be very expensive [at the race]. I have made sure that I had a large breakfast before I went to the track, but the food in AUS GP is really good as they cooperate with local restaurants, so I was ready to spend money to really enjoy it.
Note: What are the expenses that were worth boasting?
Kf: Grandstand tickets instead of a general acceptance pass. You get a weekend seat. In Australia, if you are in a major area, you will likely get a screen on the other side of the track. The cars are so fast that you literally get one second of realistic procedures, but you can see them on the other side of the screen, so I definitely think that the Koldsind pass is worth boasting.
Note: What is the advice you give to the other F1 Fangirls about financial affairs?
Kf: Certainly I think there are ways to overcome them cheaper. For the first time in the Grand Prix, you can stay away from a pass for public acceptance. It tends to be cheaper, this only means that you do not have a dedicated seat and you should stand throughout the entire four days. You may also not need F1 TV subscription because you can often watch it on YouTube, which is free. Subscribe to F1 is to watch archived races or get more detailed knowledge of experts, but I do not say it is necessary to enter this sport.
If you want to be a F1 creator, you can save money with creative equipment. I would like to say this is not a great necessity, but it was something I wanted to do to improve my content, and I heard notes that my content is better when I use the things I bought. But you can definitely get cheaper alternatives to Amazon.
Final ideas
For Foster, looking back at its costs was open-but also strengthened many fast food that was already applied on this season. (Yes, she re -wear some of her clothes, including Orange Adidas Sambas, which she got to her favorite team.)
“There were educational lessons, but I definitely think it is worth it in general,” she says. “Last year was the first time that I went to the event as a content of the content, so I really wanted to invest at the present time and make the most of the weekend. I have no remorse.”
While she was stuck in the Grand Prix in Australia for three years so far, she has already started saving for her next race and hopes to travel next time. Dream? The Great Monaco race, which, yes, comes with a “big price”.
