Thanks for this insight. It always boggles my mind as to how much work must go on behind the scenes to organise these events. Truly a massive teamwork effort. Here's to Oscar getting into the Points this weekend 🍻and 'Nando getting the chocolates. 🍫

@rutgerhoekstra1666 Год назад

F1 enthousiast from the Netherlands here. Very interesting too see how such a big event gets organized and set-up. Impressive how a city park can suddenly change into a complete F1 circuit.

As a resident of the area, I’m blown away how amazing the set up is! Every year the whole st Kilda area is full of activity and yes it’s a little noisey.. but it’s all part of the fun. Can’t wait for 2024!

@Both-Barracuda Год назад

Went last year and thought maybe they didn't realise how busy it would be since DTS creating hype and a couple of years off the calender. While they have waymore toilets than last year it seems come Saturday and Sunday there will be no where near enough bars for patrons to buy drinks if they don't have a corporate package and barely any seating behind the stands for people to sit and eat etc. I hope overnight they sort these issues out.Maybe as it's day one it's not fully set up? The Australian open hospitality for a general admission ticket holder is much more value than what I saw last year and I really hope it's changed this year! In saying all that I was there today and will be there for the next 3. The location of this track is incredible. Pub,restaurants and bars all within 5 minutes from leaving the track in all directions.

@Bocca013 Год назад

Hi AGP I've always wondered, how do you decide where the sponsorship signage is placed on track? I imagine the title sponsor gets the front straight and the Iconic Double Decker Bridge.

@ausgrandprix Год назад

Interesting question. So, we are the rights holder for Formula 1 in Australia, but the on-track signage is the property of F1 global. Essentially, F1 has global partners and typically on-track signage at multiple Grand Prix events (not just ours), will be a part of their sponsorship arrangement.

@soisaidtogod4248 Год назад

Usually negotiated at contract sign, more cash more prime signage location.

@soisaidtogod4248 Год назад

That is with F1, they hold the during/inside circuit rights.

@tdyerwestfield Год назад

Melbourne is widely acknowledged as the best F1 grand prix experience for fans in the world. Here in the UK, Silverstone is terrible for fans (although improving slightly in the last few years) despite being an excellent circuit, the logistics around paying through the nose just for a chance of getting a ticket and having to pay fees for every possible stage, then actually getting to the circuit after queueing for several hours in traffic jams, camping nowhere near the circuit but having to pay a fortune to do it and then having to pay to park there and pay to travel from there to the circuit.

@Alex-tu9bh Год назад

That's exactly the same for Melbourne mate

@Platesmasher Год назад

I’ve been to both. Silverstone is better because the circuit lends itself to far better racing. I actually walked out of the second Aus GP I attended in Melb because I was so bored - it was the year Vettel (Ferrari) beat Hamilton (Merc). The first race in 2011 or 2012 in Melb wasn’t any better - no overtaking.

@AUmarcus Год назад

@@Alex-tu9bhPlenty of hotels around the circuit within a 15 minute walk or less and I've never had an issue with queues because there are so many entry points. I've been to the event about four times, Melbourne does an excellent GP.

@arronhyde Год назад

I wanna know how they setup the track exactly the same every year. Walls fences all that.

@ausgrandprix Год назад

It’s quite a process. We have a man extremely talented team. There are modifications each year, very slightly ones mostly aimed at better seating/views and better fan experience.

@arronhyde Год назад

@@ausgrandprix but how do you know where the concrete blocks and walls go each year… exactly same spot year in year out and the fence configurations and camera positions. It’s amazing and interesting.

@ausgrandprix Год назад

Well we like to think so, but it depends how you classify an event. The Spring Racing Carnival attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees every year, as does the Australian Open, Melbourne Comedy Festival and heaps more. We're very lucky in Melbourne to be the home of so many fantastic events and we are just happy to be a part of the calendar :)

This year you have to include F2 and F3 to the list of cars

@Platesmasher Год назад

F2 will be there

@AlexFernando1996 Год назад

Why are you disassembling track, I see no reason for that ?

@ausgrandprix Год назад

Albert Park is a public space, operated by Parks Victoria who graciously allow us to use Albert Park for our Grand Prix every year. Once the race is over, the circuit is dissembled and returned back to its regular tenants which include with football, cricket, tennis, hockey, soccer clubs and more.

@JoKaDuke Год назад

If the race is locked in until 2037, the track needs more permanent infrastructure. Everything is outdated and ‘patched and covered up’ every year. Pit straight needs to be completely rebuilt including the garages and a permanent paddock setup. A new modern pit straight building with large windows overlooking the lake and city could be used all year round for wedding receptions and function hire 🤔

@ausgrandprix Год назад

With the extension, work is in progress to upgrade the pit building for future races. The park is a trickier one, it’s a public facility all year round (except for race week), used by lots of different community groups so permanent infrastructure (as much as it would make our lives easier), is not always an option for us. It’s a constant challenge redesigning the venue each year and one we feel like is pretty unique in the events industry.

@samayrus3200 Год назад

"It's an event to experience again, again and again" Yeah I used to go every year but tickets are way more expensive and harder to get. 👎

@paul-marie Год назад

Love the circuit - not enough effort is made to fix the damage the f1 infrastructure does to the park once the event is packed up. I was disappointed to see that some of the grass areas of the park were left destroyed down to dirt, with no effort to fix it/grow it back. There were still large patches of dirt more than 10 months after the GP. Could do better

@Mexxx65 Год назад

Albert Park is the worst Australian racing circuit to hold a F1 race, like whenever has it produced a good race? Great racing? Never. Even after they tried extensive modifications to the track last year, well well all saw they did absolutely nothing, in providing better racing or more overtaking opportunities. Adelaide is where it should return, as it provided so many unforgettable races.
