Earplugs ready? The Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix weekend kicks off on Thursday March 22, setting the city alight with fast cars and festive exhilaration. International superstars, heavyweight cars and present champions will speed to victory on the picturesque Albert Park track.

The city comes to life for the Grand Prix long weekend, so expect excitement at every corner. As usual, general admission and grandstand tickets are available, but the hot ticket item is always the hospitality package. Offering supreme dining options, access to a rooftop tiered viewing deck and daily walks along Pit Lane, it makes spying on drivers Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel a sneaky cinch.
