Yeah I agree Bernie. I was at the GP on friday and I particularly dislike the way that if you are a tight arse pleb (like me) and only go for one day at $55 entry, instead of a 4 day grandstand ticket, they only allow you access to a tiny portion of the Park. I had a beer (ok more than 1) with Pete,Di, Bill H and friend Max at Pete's bar ( no not really Pete's bar, he doesn't own it, you know what I mean). Anyway to get into the area where the bar is I had to borrow a ticket from bill to wear around my neck. This is in contrast to the relaxed aptmosphere at Phillip Island where all areas were open access. I even got a free ticket by displaying my Europa with the Lotus club. I'll be watching the GP on tele tomorrow in air conditioned comfort with much cheeper beer in hand.
