oh and ticket upgrades available to grandstands and pit access etc....

add some money for fuel, departure tax, food and beer. Total trip should be around $3000 for motel or $3500 for campervan trip...

That's not bad, factor in other travel costs and it could cost you about $3000 if your cheap.

It's tempting, but currently not affordable. Although that could change by early next year.

the other option is to aim for 2010 - which gives people a whole year to save, either way i am booking it down for 2009 as a must do ..... this and the F1 in melbourne.

2010 might be more reasonable for me, but then 2009 could also be do-able.



So long and thanks for all the flash

Thanks :) they actually are a hapopy bunch, just needed serious and mean shots for there image - I had to wait for them to stop laughing and smiling to take most of the shots :)

Have to find time to process the last bands shoot now, they want to use it for a CD cover and booklet so that will be a bit of a buzz if they do, first 'published' shots.

That could be doable. Mrs T made the right sort of comments the other night when I mentioned the idea. Put me down as a definate maybe :)

I assume "6 people $2400 for two campervan pp" means we would have 2 x 6 berth campervans between 6 people....ie 2 beds each?

Have to factor in some more memory cards, GKPE t-shirts and caps, and a 1D Mk4 each as well ;)

Woo Hooo! The CFO just approved a 2009 bathurst trip with funds coming from the birthday and christmas present budget for the next 2 years. So I'm definately keen as long as we can keep the cost down around the numbers indicated.

Scott 2 campervans with 3 people in each one ... each 6 berth camper van has 3 double beds.

so a bed each with a bit of room for everyones gear.

So thats 3 def maybes and Tag to answer - Dave has not squeaked yet... that would leave one space... but more vans could be added on the basis of 3 people per additional van.
