Can anyone get me information regarding autograph sessions? Im going up to the BAZ's (Bushfire Affected Zones) tomorrow, some of the drivers are (apparently) going to be there.

Im going all 4 days, but i may miss the end of qualifying, i have to be at a function.

Also looking forward to The Who concert thats following the race.


From a Herald Sun article I've just been reading:

Quote:
In a high-powered tribute to the fire-ravaged region, a 220m stretch of the town's Main St will be transformed into a mini-F1 race track on Tuesday.

Cars from BMW and Minardi will give a driving exhibition from 11.30am.


I assume when they say Minardi they mean Torro Rosso..

certainly not long to go now. I assume the track has removed all the cars by now and the final touches are being made (painting the curbs and chores like that).

It might be a very late season start, but looking back at situiations like the one of 1999*, it's better this way :)

The waiting's over and I hope for some pictures soon!

(*1999: First race was early March, with the second race following five weeks later)

I thought about doing the same but I'm in serious trouble if my physics teacher gets to know it. And I already was in trouble as I skipped to travel to Hockenheim and he somehow got to know it. Dunno how, but he didn't like it :lol:

1st practice is at night so if there's a stream I'm gonna watch that. Really looking forward to it that we finally can judge the paces of the cars :)
