2011 Australian F1 GP
I'm thinking seriously of going to the F1 race next year in Melbourne! I'm currently in the Philippines and I'm not heading back to the states until mid April. so I would just have to pay for air fare to and from the Philippines. Can anyone suggest a place to stay that won't be outrageously expensive? Thanks Mac

Seating
Also can anyone suggest where I should sit?

G'day Mac.
Not sure about where to stay in Melbourne as I live here and don't usually stay in hotels:D. However, I have been working at the Melbourne F1GP as an official for the last 12 years and can recommend a few good places to see the race from. If you like the action in pit lane and all the hoopla before the start of the race, then sitting in one of the stands opposite the pits (i.e. Fangio stand) is a good place. The stands at turn 1 and 2 also have a lot of action and good views (Jones or Brabham stands). I have also found turn 16 (final corner - Prost or Senna stands) to be quite good as you see the cars come around turns 15 and 16 onto the main straight or enter the pit lane. Other corners that have reasonably good viewing are turns 3,7 and 10 as well (and have stands you can sit in). I'm probably biased but having attended several other F1GP's I believe the Melbourne GP to be one of the best from a spectator point of view. Hope you have a great time. Cheers. George H. |
Thanks
George,
Thanks for the insight! I was leaning towards Fangio or turns 1/2. Again thanks.. Mac |
