After crashing out almost as soon as I got in from Qualifying on Saturday, Sunday was an early start to gaurentee my seat for the race. I had arranged to meet up with Dave at the track and when I arrived I met up with Luke too. Outside the gate was absolutely rammed, with a few hundred people already queing up ready for entry. The previous 3 days had taught me where was the best place to stand for quick entry to the circuit and this paid off. Yesterday had als...

Its been a few weeks since my last entry, and so its time for a catch up. After Thursday and Friday practice at the Melbourne Grand Prix, Saturday rolled around and it was finally qualifying time in Melbourne. After the two previous days of intermittant (and at times heavy) rain, Saturday was a glorious day, inviting the F1 cars out on to the track to really show what they could do.

If yesterday was fantastic, today was better. Its hard to describe just how amazing seeing Formula 1 cars race just feet in front of you is. Its 22:39 local time, and after Free Practice 1 and 2 at Albert Park, I'm home in South Yarra, my legs and back are aching, and there is a lot to talk about.

At 4pm local time, I heard from my flat in South Yarra (which is 2km - 1.2miles away from Albert Park), the roar of a Formula one car. It didnt last l...

Its been a few days since my last entry and they have been mostly spent getting settled in to my new home in South Yarra, and getting some solid work done. On Sunday I started the day by returing to collect a douvet from a nearby Woolworths, as me being me - I forgot to check that the bedding pack I had purchased actually contained a douvet. It turned out to contain every bedding item immaginable but a douvet. After collecting the new douvet I spent most of th...
