WHERE: 

For all media wishing to go out on the water to capture the event, a boat has been

arranged from Rose Bay Wharf, New South Head Road to transport you to Bondi

Beach.


The actual stunt is taking place 500 metres off shore (North End of Bondi Beach). 


WHEN:


Wednesday 3rd

November 2010

10.15am:  Media boat leaves from Rose Bay

11am:  Media call commences at Bondi Beach (North End)




WHY:

In August, V8 Supercars Australia announced that they were throwing their support

behind one of the country’s iconic organisations Surf Life Saving, who were named the

national beneficiary of the 2010 V8 Supercar Championship Series. The partnership

will see vital funds raised for Surf Life Saving through a number of fundraising activities

held during the V8 Supercar Series.


The streets of Sydney Olympic Park will ignite over three days for the Sydney Telstra

500 as V8 Supercars’ best drivers push the limits at the season’s final battle from

Friday December 3 to Sunday December 5.  Last year over 180,000 people raced by

day and rocked by night and V8 Supercars is expecting to smash that record in 2010

when legendary rockers Guns N’ Roses come to town to headline the heart-thumping

ride that is the Sydney Telstra 500.
