Set in Death Valley, because Australia is largely desert, this circuit follows the unique shape of the continent, starting in the north east, running clockwise.
The start line is roughly at Townsville, running down towards the first easy right-handed Brisbane Bend. The short Sydney Straight is followed by another right-hander, this time a tighter bend, leading into a short straight, followed by another right-handed bend. Weave your way up to Adelaide Curve, a (nealry) full-speed left bend which sends you along the second longest straight section in this circuit, the South Coast Straight.
After a sharp right at the end of South Coast Straight, the road takes a slight veer left at Perth, reaching up across Western Australia, with one heavy right-hander before you reach the technical section starting at the Darwin Chicane. Take the first right hander with caution - there's a small crest in the midst of the turns to throw you off balance.
A series of corners take you around the coastline until you reach the penultimate straight, leading into the final corner, Queensland Pin. Full throttle from here to the finish line, and you've run 3.91mi around Straya.
Being a largely flat, straight track, this lends itself well to any of the more basic forms of racing, possibly not so much for LMP's, the Red Bull cars, F1's, etc. But it's a great track for taking out your fastest road cars and throwing them around somewhere you haven't driven before, and testing your patience through some tricky technical sections.
