I will be there as a Melbournite.

It will be a twilight race this Sunday to suit worldwide television audiences.

It also means that I will be in a bad way after waiting 'til the 5.00pm start which inevitably requires quality time in a large barn style beer tent.

There is no Carrera Cup race this year which was traditionally one of the lead up races each day of the 4 day event. Maybe the GFC has taken its toll on that too.

I don't know about diffusers but I think by race start I will be infused with Fosters which is an evil Aussie brew that I only seem to drink at the F1. On past experience, by then it will be too noisy and fast to watch from the side of the track and more time in the beer tent will seem the obvious and sensible option.

Regards,

Steve
