Sydney Motorsport Park is a racing complex that hosts automobile and motorcycling racing events from 1990 in Eastern Creek, less than 40 km away from Sydney's Central Business District (CBD) in Australia. The track has a Grade 2 license from FIA, suitable for Formula 2 and Grand Touring competitions. Large crowds of racing enthusiasts, aspiring drivers, and motorsports fans attend the events organized in this racing complex by the Australian Racing Drivers Club. Even though people think of Sydney as a sunny city year-round, it receives an average of 1.22 meters of rain a year, twice as much as London, so it is not rare to find wet asphalt in the circuit. Temperature averages 13° to 22°C, ideal for outdoor activities like racing.
There are four possible configurations for the racetrack: the 3.93-km (2.42-mile) Gardner GP Circuit, the 2.8-km (1.7-mile) Druitt North Circuit, the 4.5-km (2.8-mile) Brabham Circuit, and the 1.8-km (1.11-mile) Amaroo (South) Circuit. Some of the most eye-catching features in Sydney Motorsport Park are T1, the fastest turn in Australia, with high speeds around 250 km/h (155 mph); the impressive elevation changes and high-banking of the whole Amaroo Circuit, or the downhill turn combination from T7 to T10.
The Amaroo Circuit is the shortest and most recent layout in Sydney Motorsport Park, added as an 830m (0.5 miles) road track extension around Corporate Hill in May 2012. It is one of those racetracks that make your tires screech from the beginning, running through downhill turns in quick succession and uphill segments that limit the visibility of the road ahead. The use of the natural elevation changes in the field is outstanding and causes many racers to consider Amaroo the most exciting circuit to drive in Sydney Motorsports Park.
