    Looks like I'll be there that weekend and a few days after on business. Anyone else thinking of going?

    Turn 12 or 15, high up. Or turn 1.

    Austin rocks, you can't go wrong.

    Turn 12, high above the 100m marker (braking at 75m), section 2 I believe

    Turn 12 is fantastic. End of DRS and you see 12, 13, 14, and 15. Plus you can see turn 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

    I will be there! Paddock Club passes via Ferrari for the first time. Im most excited about hearing the cars, and I have a strong feeling Ferrari will be very competitive so I can't wait.

    I bought my plane ticket yesterday. I arrive Friday morning staying I think at the Holiday Inn. Leaving Wednesday morning the next week.

    Unfortunately I'm working! Still I think I can sneak out.

    You'll probably spend all day Friday and Saturday recovering from jet lag.

    You don't know my travel schedule! I'm under permanent jet lag doing 14-16 trips to Asia and Europe each year from the US.

    No problem.

    I was at the Melbourne GP several years ago. I forgot which one.

    I was going to say your original comment sounded like a whinging pommie! ;)

    Damn whining Aussies!

    Who'd a thunk it! :D

    I wouldn't mind some Aussie weather right now, half of England is under frigging water.

    Bwah, bwah, bwah.....

    As I recall, that was *always* the case! ;)

    All joking aside, we here could use some right now..... Tahoe's really struggling and they're already talking of limiting water use this summer. :(

    Having said that, it's just now stopped raining here for pretty much the first time in two days, but we're still way under where we should be.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Give us a bell and catch up while you're here ....... you'll realize we're actually nice in person .... apart from Aircon who is even nastier in person :p

    My 355CH won't be finished it's service in time for the GP or I'd drive the 5,000 km round trip :(

    That doesn't look like an Aussie phone number :)

    I'll send you a PM closer to the GP for a catch up
