It has everything that a race circuit needs, theres long straights, fast corners, slow and tight corners... The only thing missing is a hill.

it will be interesting this year not being the first, no real surpirses. but it will still be good. i cant comment on adelaide, never got there but albert park isnt bad at all.

i think i could handle a full season at spa! maybe throw in monza, monaco, hockenheim (pre tilke) and maybe suzuka and brazil. and imola...

I was watching some of the Commonwealth games yesterday and some of the women distance runners were on part of what is used as the track... saw blimpy over there half deflated and looking neglected when they passed it...."hey there blimpy boy in the sky so fancy free....."

I noticed the Isles of Man won a gold.

For those who don't know, the island (which contradictory to its name in fact frowns on homosexuality) is 33mile long and 11 wide. (53Km by 17.5)
Hence it is smaller than London.

Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Yes, It has its bad points too.

However it is a big banking place, due to some tax thing.

Nigel Mansell has a house there for that too.

I'm hoping to go and travel to Australia to watch the GP. It'll be amazing to see the track and so on. If i do go, it'll be my first real experience with an F1 GP. I know it may sound kinda dumb but i've always wanted to watch it live, and not on TV or the internet.

Nothing dumb about it. There is no comparison.
Bring earplugs.

Bring earplugs, but listen to the start and at least the first couple of laps without them. Pure joy...
All I know is I don't know much....
