Australian Grand Prix
Get ready to fire up when Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen and the rest of the F1 elite battle it out against Australia's own Mark Webber, at speeds in excess of 300 kilometres per hour. The superstars of the V8 Supercars will also be there. With a completely revamped format, the 2009 FORMULA 1 ING Australian Grand Prix will see all on track action start later in the day and finish in the twilight hours. Following on immediately after the racing will be a host of live music and bands featuring The Who's only Melbourne performance. Race-goers will be entertained well into the evening, making this Grand Prix the biggest four day party Melbourne has ever seen. With free admission for kids 12 and under, make sure you bring the whole family!
