Hi Alan!
Did you ever go to Hamilton? It sure was one amazingly challenging race circuit, but it was fantastic for race fans whether they were corporate guests, grandstand ticket holders, or general admission fans. There were viewing options on the inside of Turn 1 down to Turn 2 for GA holders, and I can tell you the entry and exit of the Turn 2 hairpin were both great, as was the "backwards" roundabout at Turn 3. The chicane was great, and so was the right hander onto Empire Street.
From a driver's perspective, it was fantastic - if you don't ask Jamie Whincup. I was right there for his crash too.
If I rate race circuits in Australasia, Bathurst is my favourite and then Hamilton is my 2nd choice every single time. Julie, the poodle-walking lycra-loving mayor, is now gone. Oh, to go back there
