I will be heading off to Sandown on Sunday for the 500 with the kids - wifey not interested.

Anyone know where the best vantage points are? I will be dragging the kids round, so won't be able to my usual circuit perimeter walk to find the best place myself.

Very excited - my first motorsport event in Oz!

How did you go? It was my first Sandown too and for the main races went down to turn 1 looking up to 2 and 3. I enjoyed the F5000s from the grandstand though.

It was good, but to be honest, found the V8 Supercars and utes just a bit dull. Loved the F5000's, the sound was just awesome! Liked the historic touring cars, though it would have been good to have seen a few more Euro saloons (eg RS 2600 Capri, BMW 2002's etc, which apparently were a big part of the races in the day. I was down at the other end of the circuit, some great viewing spots. Good day out and the kids loved it, so smiles all round!
