Apart from the essentials (esky of beer, toothbursh, and a Visa card), this is what I'm preparing for this year's Bathurst 1,000:
Christian Wright; Dip Phot
EOS 5D Mark III | EOS 600D | EOS-1V HS
L: 14/2.8 II | 24/1.4 II | 35/1.4 | 50/1.2 | 85/1.2 II | 135/2 | 180/3.5 Macro | 200/2.8 II | 400/2.8 IS | 16-35/2.8 II | 24-105/4 IS | 70-200/2.8 IS II | 100-400/4.5-5.6 IS
580EX II | EF 12 II | EF 25 II
EOS-1Ds Mark II (probably use this all weekend over the cropper)
EOS-1D Mark III (2) (may ditch one)
EF 16-35/2.8 (atmospheric shots)
EF 24-70/2.8 (may ditch this - don't think I'll use this FL range)
EF 24/1.4 (experimental - mainly for pit area and grid)
EF 85/1.2 II (experimental - mainly for pit area, grid and some narrow DoF on-track action)
EF 200/2.8 II (instead of the 70-200/2.8 IS - too bold?)
EF 300/2.8 IS (this is the first lens picked)
EF 600/4 IS (maybe should go for the 500/4 IS instead and save my back?)
EF 1.4x II (good for a few long range on the 600)
EF 2x II (am I kidding myself?)
TS-E 24/3.5 (highly experimental - please don't expect much)
Speedlite 580EX II
Remote release (a surprise for you - will fill you in on Sunday night if it works out)
PL-C 52mm
PL-C 72mm
PL-C 77mm
PL-C 82mm
Gitzo Monopod
46GB of flash memory
Windows Notebook with 3G Aircard
Spare battery
Battery Charger
Lowe Pro Trekker backpack
Assorted hoods
The challenge: coming back with shots from all this gear that are worthwhile!
See you in a couple of days with the results.

What are the attachments on the 2 cameras on the right?
RRS L-plates.

what is the camera body on the far right? is that a removable grip I see?
And you have a tilt shift in the photo but not the gear list, what are your plans for that sucker? okay I saw it in the gear list... I'm blind
Yeah, I really like the results from the 200/2.8 wide-open over the zoom.
You caught me out - that's a 1V HS doubling for the 1Ds Mark II I needed to use to take the shot..
The TS-E is because I'm running out of ideas and don't want to come back with all of the same shit as last year!
