Who's going to MotoGP at Phillip Island?

[flash]

hey all, me and my dad are planning on going this year to Phillip island for the motogp, were hoping to stay in cowes for the atmosphere, is anyone else?, if we got enough people we could maybe rent out a house for the weekend, who's in?

You'll love it and Cowes sure has the atmosphere along with live bands and lts and lots of souvenir shops...

Yep I'm going. I went last year and it was awesome. The 990's sounded incredible and were soooo fast. The 800's should be just as good if not better! Keep me posted re. your acommodation cos I know of two others who are starters as well. We camped @ the track last year which was excellent but that's not gonna be so easy this year cos my uncle from Warnambool (who has all the gear, etc.) can't make it this year. We were looking at hiring a camper to sort both accomodation and transport, etc. but the house idea in Cowes sounds good if it's not too costly (sorry...Scottish grandparents ).

[flash]

how much was it to camp out? ill get my dad to look at prices

A house is around $1000 upward for the whole week,its not to bad when you get a few of you in sharing the cost.
You better get organised or you will not get a house in town.

From memory it was AU$72 per person for the thurs thru sunday nites for the highside campground (not right next to the track - although anly a short walk to the track). It's a temporary campground setup with portacom showers and toilets, etc. but it was ok.
