Hi all

Due to the generosity of bossreggie I have an absolutley awesome ticket to race day at the F1 in Melbourne next week to give away. The ticket comprises seats in the Fangio Grandstand and access to the Fangio lounge hosted by Qantas.

The hitch is how to decide to whom to give the ticket. So what I want to do is give the ticket to someone who doesn't normally get invited to gigs like this (to be honest I don't normally get invited to gigs like this), someone who hasn't got status with the airlines, someone who going to an F1 will really mean something (someone like me who was giggling and wriggling with delight yesterday when I found out exactly how good the ticket is). Also it needs to be someone who actually contributes to AFF.

So if you want the ticket (which is awesome and includes a pit lane walk and express access into the circuit - think DJ's implementation of Premium Boarding) PM me with the following:

- Status with QF - only PS and NB will be considered
- Contribution that you feel you make to AFF (I often don't notice the people that spot the cheap fares and share them so don't assume IKWYA)
- What F1 means to you

The selection criteria will be who has the best story about their contribution to AFF and why they think they should get a ticket to the F1 (and if you don't think Michael Schumacher was a cheating b****** when he "accidentally" drove into the back of Damon Hill in 1994 then we might have an interesting conversation on the day). No correspondence will be entered into or debate.

Entries must be in my inbox by 9AM on Monday Sydney time.

You need to get yourself to and from the Circuit.

The seat allocated is next to me so factor that into whether you want to attend ;)

I will endeavour to communicate to the lucky person Monday evening. I wont post here who got the ticket unless the recipient wants that information disclosed.
 
So 99% of the AFF Community is out with the 1st criteria!! ;)

Good luck to the entries, the F1 one is an awesome day.
 
Well done simongr and bossreggie. I would wiggle with delight too if I had seats in the Fangio stand. Good luck to the entrants - and if you miss out, there is always the telly!
 
Good luck to all those who qualify. An awesomely generous prize.
 
I thought I'd mention why I'd asked Simon to choose someone without status.
WP's and above get invites to everything. But there are many valuable AFF contributors who don't actually hold airline status with a particular airline but who share our love of aviation and also contribute to the forum.

I had 6 tickets but I'm splitting my day between the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge and Qantas.

I also hold an after party on Sunday evening which I'm hoping Simon will be able to attend. Generally we get a number of the drivers attending. This prize does NOT include entry to the private after party as this is hosted and catered in my own home.

I will not be involved in who is ultimately chosen to attend the GP.
 
Awesome stuff, really nice to see that people feel such a connection with AFF and being very generous in return. I have submitted my entry!
 
... and yon Handle ... :p

Mon handle? Just cos I've got elite staus with a few players doesn't mean I've ever received complimentary tickets to the F1 in the Fangio stand with everything put on! I tell a lie actually, the last reward Qantas gave me was an enhancement and it meant I no longer had ATA lounge acces. Forever grateful...
 
Awesome prize....

HOSG is my priority race-watching for that weekend though. Though my office overlooks the track, and so if HOSG winds up in time I may get to see the F1 race.
 
*Considers editing profile stats...* :eek:

There is the slight matter of me having also met you in person ;)

A brilliant prize and very generous from bossreggie and simongr.

Hope that you can confirm the relevant status of the lucky winner ;)

Look forward to hearing who is the winner :D. Jealous.....hell yes!! :eek:
 
Tempting to enter, but I know someone else would get a lot more out the F1 than me. Now if it were a car rally.... :cool:

Thanks blackcat20 - the importance of the F1 to the individual is important to me as I am so excited to be seeing my first F1 (after many 4AM wake ups to watch the Japanese [when in the UK] or now Euro F1s) live that I want the person that goes to be similarly excited (doesn't have to be their first F1 though of course).
 
What a great idea.Bossreggie you are a legend.
now although I am a QFNB I would disqualify myself anyway due to AA status.
Of course I am able to appear so generous because I will be in South africa.
Enjoy the day simongr and guest.should be a fantastic day.

Simongr, you must have met my stunt double that night. The real Gold Member is much like Duffman... All show but no go behind the scenes. The truth is I've never flown outside of Australia before (all in economy) and although I could never afford to buy a 'car', I love Motorsport. Especially F1. I hope you will duly reconsider your evaluation...
