Achna Speedway
Achna Speedway メモ:
Lakeside Park, known as the spiritual home of Queensland motorsport, is a 2.410-kilometer (1.498-mile) circuit located at Kurwongbah, near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, situated 30 kilometers north of Brisbane. The circuit was built by volunteers with borrowed machinery in the 1960s and officially opened on March 19, 1961. The layout features eight corners taken in a counterclockwise orientation and has a distinctive twisted oval shape when viewed from above. The circuit is now 12 meters wide at the exit of Shell Corner, an expansion from its previous 8-meter width at this point.
Lakeside has a rich racing heritage, hosting the single race Australian Touring Car Championship titles in both 1964 and 1967, and staging rounds of the ATCC in most years from 1970 to 1998. The venue also hosted rounds of the prestigious Tasman Series in 1964 and 1967, both won by World Formula One Champions - Jack Brabham in 1964 and Jim Clark in 1967. The fast and challenging nature of the circuit served as a training ground for a generation of Queensland racing drivers and riders, including John French, Dick Johnson, Gregg Hansford, Tony Longhurst, Will Power, and five-time 500cc Grand Prix motorcycle road racing world champion Mick Doohan. Declining revenues, mounting debts, and competition from Queensland Raceway led to the circuit's closure in mid-2001. On April 29, 2003, Lakeside became the first motorsport facility of its type to receive full, permanent heritage listing. The circuit reopened on April 5, 2008, and is now owned by Moreton Bay Regional Council but operated under a 30-year lease by John Tetley.
