G'day fellow simmers. I uploaded my photo's from the Australian Grand Prix
back in March, but was very low on server space so I've now enlarged most of
the files and moved 'em to a new server. Here's the new link for anyone
still interested.

Which stand were you in? I want to go next year, but can't decide between
the Prost or Brabbham Stands??

Cheers,
Andrew Dawes

I was in the Brabham stand last year, and the Jones stand this year. My pick
for turns one and two would be towards the turn two end of the Brabham
stand, and up a bit higher in the stand as well. This would give ya a great
extended view from the final run down pit straight, perfect position for one
and two plus the run towards turn three. The Prost stand also offers great
views of turns 15 and 16 plus entry into pit lane, but at slower speeds than
the first two corners.
Cheers Phil

Really? I was in the Brabham a while back, and didn't like it much. I
thought the Jones was better, toward the turn 1 end. This allowed a
nice view up the pit straight for any moves, plus the all important
start line.

Best seat in the house for action has to be the Clark stand at turns 9
and 10. Great spot to watch all the action, but a bit isolated on the
other side of the track.

I was in the Clark stand and it was a top spot, considering it was
cheaper-mid priced. It was isolated (from the main straight) but it was no
more than 10 mins walk straight across to behind the pit area.

If you havent been before, make sure you walk around as much of the track
during a practice session as you can (ie Friday), as there are some really
good general admissions spots to watch the action, while there arent as many
people there on the Friday as the weekend.

A few years ago I had perhaps the best Brabham stand seats... right
on the extreme turn 1 end, so that I could look over my left
shoulder at the cars coming down the straight as well as the view
through the first 2 turns.
I dont think you'd be able to see down the straight at all from
the seats you mention.

Yep, I was there the previous couple of years in general admission,
only problem being that you can't see the screen (unless you turn up
at 6 am)

Bought stand tickets for 2001, we spent a day wandering the track and
scamming our way into all the stands to check them out, take some
photos, etc. Only way to work out which is best really. Only 2 stands
worth paying for are Clark and Jones, and maybe Prost at the final
turn. But the action at Clark is the best for sure. Couldn't justify
the mega bucks for Jones tho.

Now if only they were able to get a stand and screen at the mighty
turn 3...
