If you’ve never been to the Grand Prix (which is on today), here (from 2009 when I went for The Who concert) is what you get to see trackside.

Can’t say it appeals much to me.

Note what I assume are sonic booms.

    2. It must be better now. After all, Victorian taxpayers pay several $million more for it each year than they did in 2009.

    3. Those people paid $100 just to do that? You can hear the racket for free from Richmond Station.

    4. I wouldn’t say they are sonic booms, the cars are fast, but I don’t think they are 1,225 km/h fast. I suspect it is more likely it was hitting the limits of the microphone.

    5. I’m sure you’ll understand if I don’t watch the vid. I’ve had enough .

    6. It’s the old doppler effect!
    (I hope the music made going there worthwhile.)

    7. Went last year. The general admission ticket is a definite waste of time, better to just watch it on TV.
