Hi Stuart,
Would be great to have you come along.
In past years we've managed to get some good hotel deals nearby, but more recently these rates are usually superseded by last minute accommodation websites. So your best bet is to find cheap accommodation near the airport via an online website. The F1 Hotel is the closest, then there's the Stamford Plaza, The Quest, Ibis and Holiday Inn further back. Currently on Wotif.com, the F1 and Ibis have the best rates under $130 per night.
Re transport, there's usually enough locals driving around that can swing by and pick you up and look after you during the day. We will encourage people who require transport during the day to make contact with us closer to the event so no one is left out. Of course, if you prefer your own freedom, then a rental car could be handy.... as walking to some of the spotting locations isn't easily achieved by foot.
At this stage we do anticipate the usage of a rental car/van during the entire weekend, so closer to the date we'll ensure you're well looked after.
In other news we should have a neat agenda for the weekend posted in the coming week.
