Australian Open Tennis Tournaments

The ever-popular Australian Open tennis games will be held in January of 2018 exclusively in Melbourne. If you are a tennis fan, the games are a must attend. You may even get a glimpse of tennis superstars like Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal. Be mindful to buy your tickets at least in October. Aussie Open tickets sell out faster than you can say “tennis”.

Pop-Up Globe

Have you ever wanted to watch Shakespeare plays performed as it was when the playwright first wrote them? Then enjoy historically accurate Shakespeare plays in a live performance from September to January 2018 at the Pop-Up Globe. You can definitely catch an unforgettable performance of timeless classics such a Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Hamlet, or Othello. Even the lesser known plays are enjoyable here.

The Brickman Experience

If you loved playing with Legos when you are small, then you will definitely love the Brickman Experience. It is an exhibition where all the exhibits are made entirely from Lego pieces. It’s the largest touring Lego exhibition in the world. In January 2018, you can get an exclusive glimpse only in Melbourne. And, yes, the exhibition is actually interactive. You can play with the exhibits you marvel at.

MPavilion 2017/18 Program

Fan of architecture? Then don’t miss the MPavilion exhibit designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten of OMA, which is based in the Netherlands. This event will be held from October to February of next year. The upcoming event will be the fourth MPavilion to be held in the city.

Ink in the Blood

Melbourne is known for many things, but newspapers are usually not one of them. Ink in the Blood is a unique exhibition that showcases the impact newspapers have had in the city. The exhibit will emphasize the importance the press played in exposing crime and corruption that paved way for the modern, egalitarian Melbourne. It’s a beautiful and informative exhibition that everyone should visit. The exhibition will be held from October this year to February of next year.

Enjoy a musical about the life and music of Bobby Daring, the legendary American performer, singer, and songwriter. You can see shows until 4 Feb 2018.

Priscilla – Queen of the Desert

Who says Broadway is the only place to see musicals. The award-winning musical Priscilla, based on an Oscar-winning movie, will be held in Melbourne from January to March next year. The glitzy show features some 200 headdresses, a world record, of sorts.

There are many more events and also places to see when you visit.

How to Become a Race Car Driver

By Adele-mcmasters on 28th September

Are you somebody who dreams about racing cars and becoming a racing car driver someday? Many people in this field are the ones who started really young. But that does not mean that you cannot get into it if you are slightly older. However, before you do all this, you need to make sure that your physical fitness is in good level and that you get the appropriate training as well.

Try Go-Karting First

Go-Karting

It might feel like you are doing some children’s play time stuff but you will have to remember that any of the great race car drivers out there today started with go-karting to begin with. Go-kart competitions that you must enter at some point, are essentially toned down versions of race car driving competitions. Truth be told, many of the race car drivers out there today, who have made it big, started with go-karting at a young age. If you star winning at go-karting, chances are that sponsors will notice you and you may even be able to enter racing car competitions professionally.

Join a Local Chapter of a the Country’s Body for Racing

Racing

This is the first step in many countries for aspiring race car drivers to get their very first qualifications. Your country or state will have a body for the purpose and you need to join so that you can learn and get the qualifications you need. You will need a sports physical from a doctor in order to join most of the time which can be gotten rather easily. In addition to directly getting into the racing, you can also become a track-side person from which you can slowly move into racing while you gain insight into what happens on the track and how.

Learn Your Basic Seating Position

Most of the new drivers do not think about the seating position. But, this is really important. If there is a crash, you will need to be braced against the seat and the seat will help you stand against the forces of the car. You need to make sure that all of your body is touching the seat when you sit down or in other words square up your body against the seat and do not twist or lean away. Make sure that your arms are at the right distance from the steering wheel. Meanwhile you also need to make sure that your legs are at a right distance from the pedals as well. If you can ensure that you go through these basic steps to begin with, the foundation that you set for your journey to become a race car driver is a solid one that will bring you good results in the future.
