hey guys, so this weekend, my brother, dad and i are going to the gold coast 600, i know it's not the biggest race on the calender, but it is the end to the endurance section of the V8 supercars calendar. anyway, i am going to be taking my camera and will be taking (my best attempt at) taking photos of the V8 utes, Australian GT, aussie racing cars, Porshce cup, TCM, stunt teams and of cause the V8 supercars, i will be posting pictures of them on here after each day. i unfortunately cannot go on the Saturday because my dad and mum have to go to a wedding (grumble grumble). I will however be there friday and sunday so i can take a heap of pictures then,

there is also a classic car show there so i will have photots from that as well for those intereted. it's also worth noting that my camera is no where near as good as what i've heard Carrera's is but it does the job, so yea, that's it, just thought i'd let you know that i am doing this for everyone who is interested

oh one last thing: i'm hoping we can drive the track (where it says car course rides) so i will be driving (if dad doesn't take over) and filming it while i drive for those who want to see a 16 year old australian drive a V6 Holden around a race track, as most 16 year olds do...

ok guys, that's it, will post pictures when i have them and will discuss the event with anyone who wants, cheers

also found this in the circuit information section

The top-finishing international driver across the event weekend will win the Dan Wheldon Memorial Trophy, named in honour of the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner killed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in October 2011.

Never driven it fully before, I've driven it as a public road, but that's no fun, drive Bathurst a few years back and even though we had to stay on our side of the road, and go at 60kph, it was still fantastic
