Australian F1 GP circuit gets major makeover for faster lap times, 330kmh top speed

Australian Grand Prix fans will witness faster lap times, top speeds of close to 330kmh, and more overtaking opportunities at this November’s F1 race after the Albert Park street circuit receives its first major overhaul in 25 years. Lap times are forecast to be slashed by up to 5 seconds, according to initial estimates, after seven corners on the 5.3km track are modified – and two are removed.
