Travel, Technology, Thoughts
Last weekend I went to the Top Gear Festival at Sydney Motorsport Park.
Below is a short video and then a few photos from the day. While the show wasn’t quite as good as last year, the festival was still fantastic with a wide variety of cars, racing, stunts and entertainment.

Despite living in Sydney for nearly four years and being a crazy V8 Supercars nut, until this year, I had yet to make my way to the mountain for the great race. To just go for the Sunday race, a special train leaves Sydney just after 5am and returns just before 11pm, making for a very long day.
The race itself was an awesome event to attend. I found the atmosphere different to the previous V8 events that I have been to in both Sydney and Auckland, the fans were more passionate but also more friendly. Also despite the 100,000 odd people on the mountain there are so many places around the circuit to watch the race from. Additionally, the view from the top of the mountain is good on TV, but even better in real life.
These are some photos of the Touring Car Masters and Radical Cup races at the Top Gear Festival at Eastern Creek last weekend.

The highlight of the weekend was the F1 vs V8 vs Moto GP, which I have also embeded two videos of.

Below are the best of my photos of the various racing classes. I will do a second post with photos from the motorshow and other general shots.
