F1s March

[dangerous_daveo]

Hi all you Mexicans!

Anyway, Myself and a few mates are looking at heading down for the F1s in March from QLD. Just wondering if there is anything we should know, or definately should do while we are down there. Such as what stand is best to get tickets for etc, good places to stay, eat so on so on.

Any comments welcome.

Thanks all!

(btw I like Mexico)

Try and get somewhere around Albert Park, Port Melb/Sth Melb to stay.

Its closer than the CBD to the track (in Albert Park).

Plenty of good places to eat along Clarendon St in Sth Melb. Its a long street, Crown Casino at the end of it also.

Stands - will be dictated by how much cash i believe.

Don't forget to come and say hi, we'll be there with our cars, in the Autosalon display area.

This year i believe that they have a package called "4 Corners"

It involves going to four different corners over four different days. Sounds like a freaking good idea if i must say so myself.

I think it started around 400~

Do remember with accomodation that if you dont book soon, you wont get a spot at all. It's chaos down here @ F1 time!

It's loud

[dangerous_daveo]

Yeah, money isnt really a prob, its not really THAT much more for grandstand tickets, $200 or so between the cheap ones and the exxy ones, over the trip its not a great deal. Just some events I know people have said the grandstand tickets arent worth the dosh. Hence asking the question.

Thanks for the help so far.

Jones or Prost stand in my opinion. Ive worked at the Grand PRix multiple times and because I was management had access to try out all the stands. These two are at either ends of the main straight. They are generally the best spots and also have the most action (ie accidents).

Yeah the main grandstand is highly overated. As mentioned the best places are the 1st or last corners. Some of the other corners are too fast to actually see the cars go past with any clarity.

only people who live in say...port melbourne..would complain about it being loud

I think im desensitised to the noise after working there for 4 years, but my hearing is probably gone shit

Harden the f**k up! The noise is one of the best parts about the F1

Im going to make some calls and see if I can get some work there. Is SAU going to have a stand/display there like previous years?
