What do I think? I think the island is a great track, it's just too bad its in fuggen Victoria. If they move it to Sydney, I won't have to drive through Melbourne to get to it and there is the off chance that it might actually be sunny.

Well your going to find that most ppl love the Island, from here or Mel, but the Sydney ppl would love to have it here so we dont have to go soooooo far. OYeah & it might be sunny too, with a decent temp to go with it.
1 for Sydney.

Went to 2 GP meetings at Eastern Creek & it was a buzz but not as much as the Island... don't care where it is held as long as we got one every year so we can cheer on our hero's... GO STONER! GO WESTY! 8)

at the moment, we're outdoing Melbourne at everything! Even the weather!

Melbourne always reminds me of that Crowded House song. "4 seasons in one day..." :lol:

Has to be PI - one of the world's best tracks - the favourite of the riders. I agree - you can have the F1 we are sick of it.

fallacy :)
according to the Bureau of Meteorology
Sydneys avg annual rainfall is 1217mm
Melbourne...?
660mm
and
Melbourne has on average 143 days a year when it rains
Sydney..?147

Sydney in the beginning of the season and Philip Island in October. That would be the way to go.
Sadly PI isn't what it used to be. Over the last eight years or so the police have destroyed the atmosphere in Cowes at night. Saying that the track itself is more vistor friendly than the creek, but the creek does not have that visious wind coming off Bass Straight.
If we can't have the GP then at least give us the supers.
If Australia can only have one GP then can Sydney swap the Mardi Gras for it??
That would be fair.
