Australian Grand Prix 2008
Any serious MotoGP fan must make the pilgrimage to Phillip Island at least once... The Australian bike fans have so far to go to hit any other event, by the time the Australian Grand prix rolls around their appetites are so whetted that you can cut the atmosphere with a carving knife. The circuit is simply breathtaking -- definitely one that you want to take a stroll around, with the back curves (near Bass Strait and Siberia) competing with the spectacular ocean bluffs for your attention. There is action all over the track: it's a great viewing circuit. Expect a bit of rain (who will forget the 2006 traffic jam in the pits as the 'hot swap' rule was used for the first time?) grandstand and general admission customers may buy 'weather shelter' tickets just in case...
They have been racing bikes here since 1931, and the Aussies are certifiably mad about the sport! And of course by the time Phillip Island rolls around their man Casey Stoner will no doubt be in contention for the championship so you can expect demand to be very high! Phillip Island itself is rather cool, and when they aren't running motorcycle races, is a great tourist destination. Add a day or two to check out the Koala bear preserve, the impossibly charming Penguin parade, or simply hit the beach.
We have a great package in the best accommodation around -- the lovely 4* Silverwater Resort and winery, just 2km from the Island. This is a 4 night dinner, bed and breakfast package with a completely full schedule to ensure you eek the most from the weekend! Suitable for VIPs (we have some lovely 1 bedroom suites) and ordinary grandstand packages. We have an opening party Friday, where we will have food, drink and a suitable special guest from the paddock; Thursday if you are around, we will go into town and have dinner and see who's about. Saturday dinner and we expect to link up with a very special event. Sunday we have an optional private tour of the great Penguin Parade -- a real hit last year!
At the track, the VIP Village (new and improved this year!) is the top experience; we have a private suite on the Pit Roof, and in addition to the pit lane walks, catering, CCTV, etc, we add private paddock and pit tours as a guest of one of our sponsored teams. This is UNAVAILABLE elsewhere!
