Low key is my bet.

Incase it's a closed event I suggest keeping the hotel brunch thing in mind. The lady I spoke to said it's $35 and is on the roof, so if you can't get a good view around the track for any reason use the hotel roof

This sounds awesome Steveo. Do you know if I can just rock up in the morning and pay my $35, or should I book a spot first?

Doubt I can get Tues off and don't want to lose a booking fee or anything.

The 35 thing is for hotel patrons only, so you would have to stay in the hotel

however i will also be in Melb for the F1

Hope they brought some wet tyres, its been pissing down rain here all afternoon. Fairly high chance of rain tomorrow as well

[N1GTR]

Crazy view from the balcony. Worth every cent.

[ChrisCross]

[Galois]

Excited!!!

Got a bunch of vids on my iphone that I will be putting up soon, and a couple of guys i work with were doing HD pics and vids, so i will put those up when i can get a copy of them.

F1 car sounded awesome, first time i have seen or heard one in real life.

yeah i have to agree with you theres nothing like it. I'd been watching the F1 on TV for years, finally went to the melb GP one year and was awestruck... gets the testosterone sloshing around your ears in about 2 secs flat.

Tell me about it, 2 years ago i went to the F1 and i still remember being in the cab just after we landed and as we were getting closer and closer we could hear the cars getting louder. It was pretty funny having 5 grown men in a maxi cab all sticking their heads out the window as we drove along

my pics from today. great to see an F1 car tearing up the mountain although they weren't giving it 10/10ths for a promo day. weather was perfect, track dried about 30 mins before they went out. great success

Pics look great. I wish i was there!!!

I wonder if we will ever see an F1 race at Bathurst...2016 after the contract for melbourne ends ...

Probally just wishfull thinking ...

Those are some nice photo's, looks like you had a great position. I am uploading my vid to youtube now. The picture quality is awful, but the audio is good enough.

[180fan]

Here is the vid of the laps i recorded. I got all the laps, apart from a couple of Lowndes driving the V8. The first 50 seconds is just the car warming up in the pits.

[FST513]

So jelly!!! I think i woulda sprayed off around 25 pic bursts just to make sure i didn't miss an epic shot! Looks like a rad day.

[Beer Baron]
