Sorry guys, no show from the F1 windows this year! We're old and married now anyway, so the show would come from the stamford windows, and probably be quicker... Might try and come up for a weekend sometime in Sep/Oct this year to catch up with some folks, we'll see how it goes!

Hi All,

I am considering my options at this stage, as I have never been to a Spotters Weekend.

Where do you guys stay in Sydney?
Do we need a Hire Car to get around?

Please advise

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Would be great to have you come along.

In past years we've managed to get some good hotel deals nearby, but more recently these rates are usually superseded by last minute accommodation websites. So your best bet is to find cheap accommodation near the airport via an online website. The F1 Hotel is the closest, then there's the Stamford Plaza, The Quest, Ibis and Holiday Inn further back. Currently on Wotif.com, the F1 and Ibis have the best rates under $130 per night.

Re transport, there's usually enough locals driving around that can swing by and pick you up and look after you during the day. We will encourage people who require transport during the day to make contact with us closer to the event so no one is left out. Of course, if you prefer your own freedom, then a rental car could be handy.... as walking to some of the spotting locations isn't easily achieved by foot.

At this stage we do anticipate the usage of a rental car/van during the entire weekend, so closer to the date we'll ensure you're well looked after.


In other news we should have a neat agenda for the weekend posted in the coming week.

Wow, sorry I missed this earlier Lawrie. Yes, we're full steam this week with the organising. Definitely Friday 11th to 13th May. Book it in.
