Great to see this is happening! There is plenty to see in Hobart, the mountain, MONA etc and great roads such as that used in the local Wrestpoint targa nearby. The nominated track at Baskerville is ideal for the MR2, more of handling track than a power track. I was at the 2011 MR2 nationals in Bright, there is never a dull moment at these events with like minded people. If anyone needs advice let me know as I have lived in Hobart for 3 years.

It's about 70 bucks for the car on the spirit plus your ticket... Another 150-200 each way.

May be worth approaching Tt lines to see about a group discount booked in advance

As a guestimate for around that time
$80 or so
Then you have to pay for accomodation

Kevin might be able to get a group booking for cheaper.

That might be a hard one for me to attend, i realy would love to go to the nationals, bt that one just would be too far and expensive for im sory to say...

Not that expensive I travelled to Tassie a few times from the Goldie. Think of the roads you could do on the way and the great ones in Tas.

Just bringing to everyone's attention that venue for 2013 MR2 Nationals has been announced. It is to be held in Tasmania, probably October. The Victorian Club has commenced discussions with members in Tasmania and NSW.
Something to put in your diary!!
