Complimentary Helicopter Transfer
The Australian Grand Prix is one of the few F1 races allowing helicopter transfers to the circuit and we take full advantage of this.
Aside from the logistical benefit, bypassing the vats crowds, the visceral experience of flying through Melbourne CBD, over to Albert Park, and into the circuit is always a highlight for our guests.
Testimonials
We worked with Tom Barker Group to curate a celebration of a significant milestone for our business. They recommend the 2022 Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix, which worked well for us geographically with guests attending from across the globe. From chartering a luxury super-yacht trackside to securing naming rights of Marcus Armstrong’s Formula 2 car ensured we had a great place to enjoy the races while also having our very own Punvec car to support. Very special for everyone at Punvec Group. Thank you to Tom and Emilee for the effort and hospitality.

2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Experiencing the Singapore GP from the National Gallery, courtesy of Tom Barker Group, was beyond words. The breath taking circuit views and the Singapore skyline paired with an intimate lunch with the legendary Martin Brundle—a true gentleman—made it unforgettable. Sian and the team curated a seamless, one-of-a-kind F1 journey. Thank you to American Express for facilitating.

Attending the Australian Grand Prix at Tom’s event was unparalleled to anything we have done at the Formula 1 before. Recommended by American Express Centurion, TBG exemplified sophistication and class. The complimentary helicopter transfer was a fantastic way to enter (Albert Park) while getting a great view of the circuit, hot laps in the Audi GT3 and a suite visit by David Coulthard prior to the race was the cherry on top. An exquisite F1 hospitality experience like no other. Highly recommend!

The 2019 Australian Grand Prix was an important event for the Brabham family, as we were celebrating the 60th anniversary of my father’s and Australia’s first Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship. We had VIPs from the UK and locally and we needed to give them an experience they wouldn’t forget. Tom Barker and his team made the weekend feel very special.
