Thanks for the kind words. It’s quite difficult (given time zones) to be an F1 fan in Australia but the team here does an amazing job of keeping fans connected to F1 all year round. This particular series has been almost two years in the making and we are just thrilled to finally be able to show the world what we’ve been up to while F1 has been away.

Australia won’t let it happen again I fear....more COVID insanity will prevail, I hope I’m wrong

[@macca409]

@@jerryvasilko4208 I see where you’re coming from but this year I believe it’s different because they know they’ll lose the contract if they cancel it for a 3rd year in a row. Then the AusGP would move to another state because F1 would just sign a contract with whichever state promises to hold the GP no matter what. Victoria won’t let that happen so will make sure they run the GP this year.

Thanks, that's lovely feedback. We're very happy with the finished product. We wanted to build something for fans that shows everyone what we've been doing while F1 has been gone (it's been a good few years).

Well done to Aus GP Corp for some terrific investment into the circuit. You are doing a terrific job and hopefully no more F1 event cancellations! Our family cycled around the new surface a few weeks ago, so smooth and beautiful views of Melbourne! A terrific circuit and asset for the Melbourne and global F1 community!!

[@rafaelescamillaR]

[@Fisch269]

I drove around the circuit in 2003 while on holiday in Australia and could not believe how tight T1 was. Knowing the speeds Formula 1 cars take through there is actually shocking. Albert Park holds a special place in my heart and I really hope it stays on the calender forever.

[@BoyFromBelgium99]

My first race I ever watched was the F1 2002 Australian GP when I only was almost 3 years old but I remember it because the race was so iconic to me. It's really one of my first memories as a kid. Albert Park has always been one of my favorite tracks of the whole calender, which says a lot if you think about it. Every corner has something, from the braking and getting a good exit of Turn 1 to the last corner which is so nice to see with the camera from Turn 1 with all the cars lined up behind eachother racing on the main straight in the distance. It's sad I live so far away in Belgium and that I was only able to visit Spa, I would love to visit Albert Park and see another iconic race here one day! I'm really convinced that racing on the improved lay-out will have more overtakes and some higher speeds through the second sector, which is good for me, as a big fan!

[@ausgrandprix]

What a great memory. Thanks for sharing!

[@crazycjk]

This is a fantastic piece of cinematography about what is essentially re-laying a track - I enjoyed every second! I hope some other tracks follow your lead, way to set the bar Aussies! Can't wait for the F1 to be back down under

[@ausgrandprix]

The ultimate compliment. Thanks Matt. There’s no doubting that we took inspiration from the DTS series which has captured a who new F1 fandom. The work we’ve done on the circuit should drastically improve racing on Sunday and we’re so thrilled with all the work the team has done on the series to detail the changes. Episodes 2 & 3 really dig into the detail and we hope you enjoy when we having coming up over the next few weeks.

[@MiniMii550]

So excited! I'm a little sad they got rid of the chicane at turns 9&10 since I spent so much time playing formula 1 trying to get that section right. I struggled there a lot early on but it's a section that has grown on me so I'm sad to see it go. BUT! I do hope it's a change that makes the track better and I can't wait to watch the race this year! I'm so happy the Australian GP is back this year, think Albert Park has earned its place as an iconic F1 circuit along with Spa, Silverstone, Monza, Hungaroring, etc.

Looks fantastic. Danny Ric definitely won't be losing his front wing on the main straight again! Just need to put some grandstands on lakeside drive, on the new longer back straight. At the old 11/12 corner, put in a grandstand where the corporate suites used to be, and face it towards the city. Watching cars scream down with the city skyline and palm trees behind them would be spectacular. Also the Graham Hill stand opposite the Powerhouse should be brought back, since it also had amazing views.
