Want to attend the 2007 Australian Grand Prix ?

Post by Tim » Wed Oct 25, 2006 4:49 pm

Hi everyone,

We are looking at the possibility of arranging a group attendance to the 2007 Australian Grand Prix and we would like to gauge the interest from our forum members and their friends.

This would be a great experience and a chance to meet fellow members of the forum.

If you are interested please drop me a PM or email and provide the following information:

- Number of people
- Ticket preference: General Admissions, Grandstand, Corporate
- Accommodation required ? If yes, preference (3, 4, 5 star + single, twin, etc).

Also let us know if you prefer Hotel accommodation or Apartment accommodation.

As a guide, a 4 day general admission ticket is $175, 4 day Grandstand tickets range from $359 to $599 and corporate tickets start from $1,195.

Accommodation starts from around $200 for the 3 nights.

You'll also need to budget for around $100 per day to spend (food, some merchandise, transportation, etc...)

All prices are in Australian dollars (using today's rates, 1 Australian dollar = 0.76 US or 0.60 Euros or 0.40 British pounds)

We would like to make a decision on this by the end of November at the latest so please have a serious think and let us know.

Reasonably priced, comfortable, slow transport for 1, available from NSW, return will be quicker (if you behave, and have good manners) to the Melbourne GP.......return via Hay Plains, Wagga Wagga, Mt Panorama (two quick laps, then get the hell outa town before Sergeant Bob Mitchell, Bathurst Highway Patrol comes a lookin.....sneaky bugga drives an original GTHO :shock: )
