| Interesting Fact |
The former Formula 1 street circuit is renowned for being one of the Parking best in the world. Shortened from its Grand Prix length by 700 metres to 3.2-kilometres, the circuit is very busy from inside the cockpit and, apart from the run down the back straight, gives drivers very few opportunities to relax. The circuit featured major resurfacing work for 2009 as well as new pit lane facilities. The Clipsal 500 was first held in 1999, while the GP length circuit has also hosted an American Le Mans Series race in 2000. |
