for a lap? Postal: PO Box 239 (07) 32853333 (07) 3825 3304 Length: 2.41km Width: 9.0m Opened in 1961 and has
hosted all of Australia's major Championships, including the
Australian Grand Prix twice, won by Graham Hill and Chris
Amon. Lakeside is 30km north of
Brisbane. Take the Gateway motorway if approaching from the
South, and Bruce Highway if from the northside of town. Take
the Dohles Rocks Road/Griffin exit, go straight through the
traffic lights, and left at the golf course. Dakabin Station is a 500m
walk from the main gate, simply walk down the road through
the golf course. You can park pretty much
anywhere, but you may pull up next to the fence from the
kink to the Karasel, and on top of the Eastern
Loop. The hill opposite the tower
on the front straight is always popular, as it is close to
the exit, and you can see most of the track. Hungry corner is always a
great place to watch, as there are plenty of moves and offs
as it has more run off than any other corner on the track.
The top of the hill is always popular, so get there early to
stake out a spot. The kink is flat out, with
the cars getting light over the bumps and kerbs. The inside
of the track is closer and is the best place to watch the
action from. The Eastern loop would be
about the slowest part of the track, with a good view over
the entire circuit. There is a small amount of
seating on the inside of Hungry Corner and on top of the
loop. Depending on organisers, but
$10-$15 for State Championships. By the Dunlop Bridge, or
circuit cross over (however may not be open after every
race). Except for National Championships, free to walk
around, however working pit lane is a little far away from
spectators. The Pit Stop Cafe on the
inside of the track just over the Dunlop Bridge is open at
all meetings. On the outside: Try in the pits or control
tower. Yes Not much cover on outside of
circuit, but tents are always up in the pits. The wind off the lake can
get cold at times, so bring a coat. Around the outside of the
Karasel or on the run out of the kink. Hungry corner. Exit of Eastern Loop, entry
of the Karasel. Hungry Corner,
Kink. Exit of the
Karasel.
