    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

    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

    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.

    i havent miss any race since i start watching it since 1998.

    and yes $$$ is always the issue, now that i hve 2 little ones money go to them now.

    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.
