CIRCUIT HISTORY :

A notable venue in the 1950’s was a road circuit at Albert Park in Melbourne.  Australia staging racing including two events called the Australian Grand Prix but not counting towards the World Championship
.

Australia became part of the F1 world championship in 1985 with the last race of the season held on the street circuit in Adelaide. The Australian circuit was notoriously tough on drivers and gearboxes.

This Vennue fought hard to win the right to stage the Australian Grand Prix, overcoming stern protests from the environmental lobby, and provided a memorable first race in the superb settings of Albert Park. Finally a substantial number of people attend the Australian race at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit.

The new circuit presents a longer than average lap to grand prix drivers, with an interesting combination of fast, flowing corners, and a tight “hairpin” type bend system onto the start-finish straight.

Unique: a “shuttle boat” moves photographers around the vantage points using the major central lake.

Ultra lightweight Mazda MX-5 GT unveiled for British enduro racing

Filed under: Motorsports, Convertible, Mazda

Mazda MX-5 GT - Click above for high-res image gallery

Mazda has been trumpeting its "gram strategy" to cut weight on all of its products, and the best example of how this philosophy works is in the new MX-5 GT race car. The roadster, which will compete in the Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship this year, weighs just 1,874 pounds while packing nearly twice the punch of the standard MX-5.

The heavily modified MX-5 engine produces 275 horsepower - enough juice to propel the light-weight roadster to 60 miles per hour in a scant three seconds flat. The race-ready Mazda can also crest 160 mph while looking damn fine with its new Spirited Green paint job.

In order to cut several hundred pounds off the base MX-5, the Jota Sport racing team removed interior components, revised other interior fittings and dipped the car's shell in acid. The doors, like many interior components, are made of carbon fiber and the windows are made of polycarbonate. The racing team also lowered the engine height, adjusted the suspension and added a six-speed paddle shift transmission to aid with handling.

The Mazda MX-5 GT race car sees its first action on Saturday at a three-hour endurance race at Silverstone. See the lightweight MX-5 for yourself in the gallery below. Trust us, you're going to want one.
