That will teach me to read the post properly!!

I plan to go next year too. I've already booked in my holidays, so good to go with getting time off. We will end up camping somewhere on site (start at the beginning of the waiting list again).

Alright well reasonable, rather than mega expensive :p Getting tickets through work so just need to pay for accommodation. Sorry to hijack but its kinda relevant.

Cheers guys, I'll start looking at some of the nearby towns.

Brother got a price of $1000 for 4 nights for staying in a tent at the circuit. Didn't look into anymore after hearing the price. One of these mobs that do package deals.

How long is the drive from Sydney to Bathurst?

About 2.5 hours Sydney to Bathurst on a good day.

Took us 6 hours to get back to Sydney on the Monday after the race. Everyone missed their flights, the good part about that was Lowndes and Whincup were in the line next to us and we had a bit of a chat and some photos.

Try Orange, Oberon and Lithgow as well.

I live in Cowra which is a bit over an hour away. I have 2 spare beds for something suitable in return ;)

Are you saying there's a waiting list to camp at the track now ?

Now that sounds like an offer too hard to refuse. Particularly for the OP who has tickets.
