What a trip!
Now that I feel like I have gotten over jet lag, I thought I'd share a couple from the track that IMO, is one of the coolest in the world.
If you can afford it, and you could only attend ONE race all year, then save like mad and go to PI for bikes (or cars - but I'm a bike person primarily). The flight isn't really that painful (15 hours from LAX) and Qantas really take care of you if you're lucky enough to fly with them. We had a house on Phillip Island which is a wonderful place, with Wallaby's and Koala's and very cool people.
If you're not credentialled (I had credentials), no worries as they say! The track is amazing, and there isn't any catch fencing around the entire track, so if you've got good glass, a 300 and a 1.4 you can get some pretty good shots without worrying about fencing!
Plus, the fans and people are really great. (...and for all you homesick peeps missing foodies...it's all there...)
So here's a few for now...in no particular order.
