The new “International” circuit layout - 4.7km in length

The 4.0km “Full” track

The 3.0km “National” track

The 2.2km “Corporate” track

The 1.7km “Club” track

The 486m “Drift Bowl”

The extent of the existing track

:P Too bloody true

I like how a combination of tracks can be used at anyone time - except the international of course.

Though I don't like how the drift bowl will be part of the international track...........

Drifting by nature, tends to ruin the surface, especially when they drag all the dirt onto the track. Else I like.

[Angus Smart]

Ohhherr i like!

can run 3 tracks at once!

[Marco-R34GTT]

That is one of the nicest, most balanced and ingenious layouts of any track...

Would've like to have seen a tighter last corner, aside from that though, looks really technical, and the long main and back straights allow for great passing spots!

Send THAT BLOKE TO BARBAGALLOS!!!!

I LOVE it!..

Can't wait till an oporunity arrises to give it a good thrashing!

..except the "drift blowl".. you can tell they got tight arse there..

[Whiplash]

they have even changed the direction the cars run

good layout

"John Cotter, the President of the ARDC, announced that the master plan would be a way to cover for the impending closure of Oran Park, as well as provide world-class facilities to hold world class events, such as Japanese Super GT, FIA GT World Championship and GP2 Asia."

Super GT....super!

Making us Queenslanders jealous! Although, Lakeside this weekend will make up for some of it

Actually, to me, it looks overly tight with only one potential overtaking place. Loads of mickey mouse stuff & only one even remotely high speed corner in sight. To be a good circuit it needs a couple things - namely elevation change combined with high speed turns.

On the upside it looks to have flexible layouts. Does anyone see the resemblance of the National Track to AIR? They have packed alot of tarmac into a small space - maybe too much?

Hopefully there will be something in it for the paying spectator, not just the bloody corporates.

So please keep this sort of thing away from Wanneroo.

yeah I'm a bit of a sceptic too. and it's as shame where we once had a nice, fast, open turn 1 we'll now have a hairpin instead. d'oh.

there are a lot of positives though. and it does make good use of the space.

my only other gripe is the drift track should be seperate from the main circuit and they should build another, BIG skid pan and actually let clubs use it for khana events and even drift practice etc.

[JAS-25T]

Just noticed something else - If it is truely going in the opposite direction like they are saying..............That pit exit looks awful short.

[benm]

Don't sing it ARDC, bring it!

Awesome awesome awesome.

[PORTS]

It looks like a challenging layout and the clockwise direction will certainly make a difference,

but I would still like to see a completely new track somewhere to replace Oran Park.

[benm]

The reverse of track direction is probably due to the sunglare down the main straight like present...

[Jetwreck]

Looks fun.......but!!!!

I'm with djr81. It also doesn't look like it has the same high speed flowing as the current layout.

No more high speed turn one!......I'll miss her

Drift track defiantly needs to be bigger and separate to the main circuit.

Personally i don't like it and I definatley don't like the implications of making it happen. The current track is great as it is,,,there's plenty of overtaking spots unlike most other tracks in skippy land.

My only bug-bear with the current setup is you can't see shit as a spectator.

Why not bulldoze coporate hill and turn 2's hill flat,,,build some simple covered grandstands and heaps of stepped seating like next door.

Current track is fun

New "International" track looks great too!
