2008 ING Australian Grand Prix (plus V8 Supercars)
Each year I am lucky enough to get a free groundpass to the Grand Prix here in Melbourne. A work colleague is a track marshall and gives me a free ticket.
This year it has been HOT !! 38C (100F) for each day. I like going on the Saturday as more happens – 2 F1 sessions including qualifying, a V8 supercar race a celebrity race (this year was sportspeople in Fiat Abarth 500s), plus another 4 support classes.
Sadly, there are probably only 2 more Australian GP's to go. Bernie Ecclestone wants a night GP in Australia to make it a more friendly time for the European audiences. The cost is prohibitive and so it will go somewhere else in 2011.
Here are some photos.
First, the F1s
