Visited a couple of times, and just for the F1. It is fantastic and how it should be done, easy access to and from Melbourne centre. Plenty of cars on show old and new, and they also take them round the track. Action all day, and every day, and all around the track. Sadly work commitments mean two years missed. They keep mentioning not to run it at Melbourne. I honestly believe it is better than Silverstone.

I was competing in Formula Ford at Phillip Island the previous weekend. Saw quite a bit of this car,recently acquired by Paddins Dowling,an Irish expat. currently Snr. V.P. at Cantor Fitzgerald in Frisco. It runs on methanol & Castrol R equivalent,it's worth it to stand next to it while he's warming the engine for the superb smell of burnt Castrol R.
The car happens to be the only car still retaining the original numbered body panels and all the rest looks extremely authentico,a lovely car. He was circulating just above 2 min. a lap which is quite good for such an old car. This car is NOT the car which competed at Albert Park in '53
Was pit-crewing at the GP. This event is right up there with the best as the organisation is just perfect. Didn't have a spectacularly good weekend,however got a good,trouble-free session on track Saturday,bit of work to do on the car back in the shed before the next event.
