A1 Grand Prix At Eastern Creak

[benm]

I am the most sunburnt I have ever been in my life. I arrived at 8am in shorts and a tshirt and was contemplating buying a jumper coz it was looking like rain was gonna fall any minute. I took 1 look at the pissy little merchandise tent behind the main grandstand and kept walking.

The A1's sounded quite different to what I was expecting. They were much louder, I was expecting a much deeper throbbing sound.

The Chrysler pace car was the biggest ugliest worst sounding car i've ever witnessed in my life. To top it off it was an auto so everytime it took off out of the pits it sounded like it was going to struggle into 2nd gear and just made the uuugliest sound, ugh!!

I thought the $55 entry fee was a rip off, I mean c'mon this isn't the Bathurst 1000 and it certainly wasn't an F1 race. I noticed that the grandstand seats were $80 (incl gate entry) on the sunday, who in their right mind would pay $150 for a single adult grandstand ticket to basically watch 4 main races.

They certainly advertised the event well (both tv and radio adverts) for about a month prior but the turnout of spectators was quite low, then again im sure the price had something to do with that.

The spectators were pretty cool, atleast I could hear and see them speak which is unlike most of the V8 events.

At the end of the day i'd rate it a 6 out of 10 purely because it was something new, losing points on ticket price, lack of merchandise and novelty stands and lack of pit girls.

I actually thought the Chrysler sounded good. It had quite a bit of speed to it too, considering he wasn't "racing" it. I agree on the price, should be cheaper.

My main gripe wasthe length of the races. 1 hour main race is a bit ridiculous.

and lack of pit girls.

Hmm.. pity I didn't go - mates had full access pit-passes.. might put some pics up if I get a chance.. was still hungover and dissapointed from the day before with the Drags not on that I couldn't bring myself to drive out all that way again..

oh well.. next time - sounds like it was good - rang him right in the middle of the second race, couldn't hear anything on the phone - they're pretty loud.. but I think the F1's eclipse them...

I went out on Saturday and loved it! They sounded a lot better then i thought they would have.

I walked around the whole track twice and got to see them on every corner and straight. I will be going to watch again next year i loved it.

I was very disappointed to see no cars at WSID on Saturday I haven't read the drag day thread yet, but i was at eastern creek from 9-5 and it did not sprinkle once.

Poor chicks- obviously don't have the cash to buy pants that fit. Maybe we should pass a hat around.....
