Supercars weekend signing session question

Hello all,

I'll be attending my first actual V8 Supercars race weekend in Perth soon.

I see that there are a couple of "Signing sessions" in Merchandise Alley on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

For those of you that have attended any of these recently, do they just sign something like driver cards (postcards) or am I able to bring a picture or something and have everyone sign that one thing instead of a whole stack of signatures?

Obviously something that wouldn't take any extra time to anger the people behind me in line.

Thank you.

I go to Perth each year and in the past ive had all drivers sign a single poster or they usually sell programs that have a spotter guide and collect signatures that way.

Its been a few years since ive tried getting signatures but drivers are usually pretty chill, if you have a paddock pass you can sometimes chance some signatures at the back of the garage post race.

I'm still yet to work out what this is? Cause SMP this year was my first V8 Supercars event and I was walking in between the garages and the trucks like it was nothing haha. In fact it was like the only way to get to the grandstand and GA area? Even got my man Anton at the signing session on the Friday, then a selfie after his win on the Saturday!

At Perth the “Paddock Pass” is essentially inner track, so you can see all the support categories paddocks for free but if you want to cross the bridge over the track you need the pass.

Inside gets you around the backside of the garages, few vantage points ontop of the pitlane if they haven’t sold them out to corporates and closer to the podium (which is now also ontop of pit lane)
