moto GP 2009 - Australia

[dwh43scale]

Looking into the possibility of a holiday in 09 to include Phillip Island moto gp round. I'll research the official website, but can anyone help a Pom with useful info - where to stay, what to do, what not to do, etc etc

Thanks

If you want house or motel accomodation book really early, it fills up real quick. If you want to camp there are more options, you can camp trackside, a great experience and no worse than camping at the IoM TT. You didn't say how you will be travelling but their are buses or you could hire a car, camper or even a bike. The camp sites cater for each type. There are other campsites away from the track that are cheaper and often provide better facilities, but are a bit quieter and more sheltered from the weather. If there is a group of you the best option is to rent a house for the week, between you it works out cheaper and there is somewhere out of the weather if it turns bad.

The track is one of the best on the MotoGP calendar and is definately one to see at least once.

I didn't find PI that bad. When I went to Silverstone for the World Supers they were a must have. Everybody had an air horn and instead of cheering when their favourite rider came past they'd blast their air horns .

I know mate, I hate it as much as anyone else!!

But you have to understand that Britons who go bike racing are largely following thd herd, half of them havent a clue who Robbie Rolfo is or Joan Lascorz, they just buy an airhorn and blast it at Haslam or Crutchlow or Sykes and cant rememebr where anyone esle finished!!

Very sad, but also makes our tracks a lot of money, so what gives!!

It was at its worst in teh Foggy days when people used to boo geniuses liek Russell and SLight, admittedly I hated John Kockstinky as much as anyone but he deserved that!!
