« on: October 11, 2006, 11:57:45 pm »
Have any of you peeps been to the Bathurst 1000 down under? its a race I've allways wanted to watch live and was thinking of maybe incorporating it in a trip to ozz, is it worth going to see?

It's just one of those races I'd love to go to if I could afford it, Paddy.  After Sebring next year it would complete the fantasy set!

I went to the Birdsville races when I was in Oz.   Makes LM look like a temperance meeting!!

I have pretty firm plans for Bathurst next year. The plan is to get to know some Aussies through internet fan forums and have myself invited to be shown around by the locals.

Might be a nice alternative since I can't go to Sebring the next two or even three years. But Bathurst is a little more expensive than Sebring I assume. So who knows, I'm in for it. It's exactly in one year right? Enough time to save some(or a lot probably) money.

sounds like a few are interested, is it a bit like L/M i.e a whole weekend gathering of petrol heads/drunks in disguise, anybody know about accomodation nearby,entry costs etc? (must look up where Bathurst is lol)

If I understood correctly from Pieter it's 200% more nuts then Le Mans. For accomodation prices etc you should have a look at the website. I believe tickets are about 40 euros or something. Airplane retour ticket will probably exceed a 1000 euros.

My brother went in the 90's. Said the atmosphere was brilliant especially up the mountain. Some of the people in the campsites even bought their own brick walls to surround their pitches!
