F1

It's USF1 though, they will make a widebody car to fit the US driver market.

I remember when mansell came out of retirement to drive for McLaren - he was too big to fit the car and they had to redesign the cockpit LOL

Well my leave for late march got approved so I'm Melbourne bound for the GP :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

Great one Matty!! Ive not been to the Melb GP - hope its brilliant for you!!!:banana:

gareth you should try next time it's great to watch on live.

USF1 team, i think have been munchin on krispy kream that it why they may miss out on the first 3 race. lol

i went to Adelaide many years ago and absolutely loved the whole experience.

I havent missed a single GP on tv for the last 26 years.

Unfortunately my funds are being redirected into other activities, so coughing up for another live GP isnt on the cards for the next few years

I am very very excited I finally get to see an F1 race, I've wanted to go ever since it moved to Melbourne. Cant quite figure if I want GA or seating tix though...

Flights are ludicrously cheap atm too, jetstar only wants $358 return!! :O

Check out Virginblue happy hour fares everyday day @ 12pm AEST. You might be lucky and get $150 one way tix.

As for seating, IMO you can't beat turns 1 & 2 on race day. So the Brabham or Jones Stand would be good. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.

GA would be great for the other 3 days.

Either way i'm sure you're gonna love it.
Just to give you an idea of how good turns 1 & 2 can be for action check these pics i took in 2008 from a Corporate Stand in between turns 1 & 2.

Cheers,
Jayse.

They are awsome shots Jayse. Lastime i was there was 04 and i was in the last turn, shumi stand. You dont see much action but hearing those engine reved up with out ear plug man it kills youre ear, but loved it.
