Who else is going to Phillip Island?

**Grub** · 18th June 2007, 09:46

Nasty has just maxed out the credit card, we're off to the MotoGP at Phillip Island 12-14 October!

I bet we're not the only ones, who else is going? We haven't booked accomm yet ... anyone have some useful tips? We don't need to be on the island, there's some nice looking beach resorts around the Gippsland area within 30 mins of the Island, hopefully at a decent price.

I saw one set of cabins at $50/night but I bet that's not the price for race week!

Yep I'm going, will be racing in the support 125 class

In regards to accomodation, I got that all sorted, couldn't give you any advice though. Got a mate who has a bach not far from the circuit. Now I can buy that extra set of new tyres

Excellent! ... what a buzz that will be!

Oh ... and if they give you too many pit passes .....

OK, it's official now.

We're staying in Kilcunda from the 11th to the 15th. Kilcunda is only 20mins from the island, I guess that means raceday time will be 45mins or more. We have a self-contained homestay for AU$120/night.

We're getting stand tickets for Siberia after next pay

As we get nearer to October we'll see who else is going and try to hook up ... so far there's K14 and Swima that we know of.

I'll be there with Madduck, 2Slow, Ninjaboy and a couple of others. We have tickets for Siberia too although I'm hoping to spend a bit of time helping Kirk and co in the pits with the 125s if they'll have me!

Err, I think you'll be lucky. As far as I'm aware, there has only been single seats available in Siberia for some time. I'd suggest getting your grandstand tickets sooner rather than later; you have seen who's leading the champonship, haven't you?

We will see how we go .. Don't know that we have to sit together

Mrs Gixxer 4 ever and I are going. 8 of us in our group.Also in Siberia. Second to front row I think. Had the tickets for a long time now. Yep it is going to be packed with Stoner doing so well. Staying in a place a k away from the track. I have been told the traffic is walking pace so you will have to get outa bed bloody early to get to the track. Maybe look for busses. I hear they run a lane for them and they flow quite well. We fly out the 11th.

Have a look here. Some good info. Weather etc....can be cold, by the way...

If you're that close, traffic won't be a problem on Friday and Saturday. Just be aware that depending on where you are stopping in relation to the circuit, the one way system that is operated can mean that you end up going a very long way round to get to your 1km away accommodation when leaving the circuit. You would be better off walking the 1km.
