Re: Melbourne and its crappy weather
Oooh Excellent! Hope it stays nice for a good while. I've been told I'll need my UK winter wardrobe over there (but it's not as cold or long as winters here) so am very happy to hear it DOES get warm as well!

Re: Melbourne and its crappy weather
Not to mention I was working as a fire-marshal at the event in a double-layer nomex racesuit, balaclava etc.... need I say anymore? Kept having to put the balaclava in the ice in the cooler and the put it on to keep my temp down.

Re: Melbourne and its crappy weather
That's Indy not F1.
F1's much more conservative. At Indy last year, we shared a tent in the V8 pits with the Armour All girls though. Gee, that was very hard to take, expecially when one stripped down to put some deep heat on a bruise on her thigh.
..... and yes we were all perfect gentleman and looked away
. Gawd it was hard... 
...although the Ford Performance racing crew nearly let their car run off the weigh-in scales..... not watching where they were going......

Re: Melbourne and its crappy weather
Just wondering about GP for next year.
We have general admission ticket for Sunday and it shows A2+J2 or A1+J3
Can you give any advice as to where best to go. Cannot find any mention of these areas online (circuit seating maps etc). I have seen 'grey' areas marked on maps which I guess are general admission areas

Sorry if a bit off topic

From looking at the map here: http://www.grandprix.com.au/site/_co...047-source.pdf
I would say that you have general admission - which is anywhere in the dark green area's (see map key in top right corner)
