They don't have one in London either, but that didn't stop Bernie's Boys from putting on a demonstration in downtown London last fall. It's all about promotion of the Melbourne race and the spectacle of a racecar running in a famous location where it doesn't belong.

[Bambikiller240]

Why? Is the road surface bumpy, or..?

Well I think I guessed that... Its just that there's a bit of a Melbourne v. Sydney rivalry thing going on...

[Bambikiller240]

On the F1 websites they said that the SHB is internationally recognisable (like the World Trade C...oops, nevermind, the Golden Gate Bridge, Eifel Tower, etc.

Well, I hope it raises interest in F1 - dont want F1 to fall into the same fate as the IRL.

[Alfadog]

WELL Melbourne's got the... uhhm the big tower thing. I wonder how grippy those F1 tyres really are.

BTW Carl, I don't know, but I can't imagine the surface to be that great...

[halz]

...and Brisbane's got the ..err, schoolies week thingo - and a windy river, yeh a river!

They should run the F1 car through the harbour tunnel...on the roof!
