Aprilia racing box,

the Ducati box

the track from the main grandstand and the end of the main straight, and its raining. But sun in the distance, with bikes on the track,

in the back of the pits,

The castle in the back ground, the main track is 28.8 ks long around the castle, this is the grand prix end.

looking back at the main straight.

can you get your knee on the ground on a wet track

its a great track, but for spectators Phillip island is a much better view of the track most of this track is hidden from view, with a large distance to the track, and if you get to low there is a 3 mt frence to keep you back so it hard to take pics thru it.
