FEATURED – Gotch Wins Round 3 at Sydney Motorsport Park
Round 3 of the RACE Magazine NSW Racing Car Championship gave the open-wheelers their first outing on the new Sydney Motorsport Park ‘Long Circuit’. The extended layout starts from turn 6 and adds 800 meters of tight and twisty track, characterised by a close sequence of direction changes, blind crests and a hairpin that caught out several competitors over the course of the weekend. Re-entering the old circuit at turn 8, the new layout extends the lap to 4.5 kilometres, and while it might take time to love it is certainly challenging from the outset.
