Peter Brock Raceway
This is a new circuit named after Aussie legend Peter Brock. It was designed specifically for V8s and takes a lot of influence from Hidden Valley. As usual for me it is quite a fast circuit with plenty of elevation change!
The main straight is about 1.4km long with a slight downhill gradient, increasing towards T1. T1 leads into a series of fast uphill esses before the slow T5. This then leads to a very fast T6. It is nearly flat out and, like Piratella at Mexico City, slighty banked. This leads to another section of fast esses, this time with a steep downhill gardient, making them a bit of rollercoaster ride. These lead onto a curved 'straight' into the decreasing radius T11. There is then a medium length, uphill straight into the very tight hairpin of T12. This is nearly as tight as Loews at Monaco but with the fast run up to it I would hope that it would be a good overtaking oppertunity. The entrance has been made considerably wider for this purpose. Another straight leads to a series of gradually tightening esses that go downhill into the slow last corner. Hope you like it! |
