Queensland Raceway National CW
Queensland Raceway National CW Notes:
The Queensland Raceway is a motorsports facility located 40 km (24 miles) inland from Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia. Its layout is straightforward with only six corners and long straight segments between them and is nicknamed "The Paperclip" because of its disposition in the field. The terrain is relatively flat compared with other Australian road courses, favoring overtaking spots over elevation change. The track's visibility is optimal year-round, with clear skies and an even distribution of rainfall among seasons. Summers are warm, and winters are cool with pleasant temperatures for racing anytime.
Races Start/Finish at the Dick Johnson Straight, named after a local racecar driver involved in the development of Queensland Raceway in 1999. Turns number one and two are a combination of right-handers closing the southern portion of the track. Corner number three, the Dipper, is a sudden elevation change followed by the 90-degree turn number four in the Clubman configuration. The last segment of Queensland raceway goes north and turns at six, taking the Dick Johnson Straight and starting another exciting lap.
