Australia F1 Grand Prix Pt.1: Intro

On courtesy of Kangan Batman TAFE we have free passes to go to the practice session of the Australian Qantas F1 Grand Prix!! Its my first F1 outing and i love it !!
We start out meeting up at the Southern Cross station at supposedly 8, i ~ who woke up fairly late, was late 5 minute, but nonetheless, everyone was later than me haha! We ended up gathered up everyone by 8.45, and that includes Andrew from Indian, Evan and TJ from Korea















Finn and Joe who's not in the picture from China.















Meantime a ambulance just stop by in front of the Southern Cross station i mean the footpath itself, wonder what happen...

And also, Group 309 haha (Evan, Top, Sirous, TJ, Joe and Mirko, while the middle one is me ^^)













After minutes of being in a hot boiling oven like surrounding as we blend into the hundreds of crowd while going in to the track....we finally made it....Albert Park..















A overview of the track















Its actually a park, around a big lake, and when the venue comes, they closes the park down and uses the road inside as the track itself.















As we got in, big, loud, roaring sounds of mechanical wonders at best begin to pour in.....it doesn't sound like F1 though...its something smaller in scale...but still as adrenaline-pumping....GT Championship..















A Nissan GT-R amongst the Ferrari, Lambos, Porches, Moslers, Vipers, Corvettes, u name it!















Porsche GT3 RS















As we move on, theres a row of BMW, M3 especially, like this one here, on display..

And after the BMW display, we have our eyes being nourished by a whole group of vintage old Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and other as well, and i didn't spend too long before i spotted this Lamborghini Miura SV....最爱.....T.T
