4 days on Fangio grandstand.

Not sure if I want the stand, so may sell off and move stands if I can be bothered.

Being on Jones was pretty good on Sunday.

Brabham was pretty good, but the afternoon sun would be hell during the main race.

We got it for Practice but overcast the whole day which helped.

Clark was terrible, pretty bad view. In the open, whole day of sun.

The grass mound on the left would have provided better viewing.

we were in Brabham but ended up viewing from the Johny Walker bar platform and off brockies hill turns 9-10 and into 11 for some of the suport races. mixing it up was definatly a good option. the sun was a pain but wasnt a big drama for the race. was suprised how effecient the trams were by sunday. friday was by far the worst day for trams.

very pissed with the orginsation of the GP advantage pit walk. as were plenty of other peope we bumped into. missed it due to no one haveing any idea where to go. was in the end told the wrong spot and waited there for half hour. was suposed to get a detailed email regarding details and never got it.

was a good weekend with plenty to see and do at the track. not sure id rush back next year thoe.

Brabham was hard work looking into the sun on race day.

Jones definitely the better stand since you have the sun behind you and can see part way down the main straight as well as turn 1/2.

Schumacher stand is actually really really good. screen right infront of you, can see the final two corners, pit entry and most of the front straight.

Or the Waite stand at the high speed chicane, excellent value for money, plenty of action and right next to all the food and entertainment

Saw turn three has a stand too now, but its a bit far away from everything. Good action on track though

what. to. do.

    • I've seen these as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/395822887806?chn=ps&_ul=AU&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooak9PFJJwwNDusr8TrZ5lsminTjComhJr-Z4dJ52Tt35T1hBPl0wk&gQT=1 but always seemed a bit dodgy lol
    • Yeah same with the GTR but in practice that is pretty easy because the car is so high, and the stands only go from sill end to sill end so you don't need to wriggle far
    • The other thing for me would be needing to go the long way (ie, front or back) to get to the middle of the car 🤣 I need to do the transfer case fluid in the E70 which is right in the middle, it's quite the commute from the front or back.
    • yeah this video from about 6:10 shows the process, it is easy but not quick.  I'll weigh the frames when I get a chance, they are not impossible, but not easy. I don't want to seem negative, I am happy to have it and use it often.....its just that it isn't a magical solution to making cars hover.
    • All up I'd guess it is 2-3x slower than jack+stands (when you already know where you are planning to place the stands) because the frames are heavy/hard to move and line up, and you still have to connect the hydraulic lines, start raising it, check adjustment etc. But in practice that is minor, we are talking 2min vs 5min, and being nice and high and very stable definitely makes jobs underneath easier
