Unique Features: Albert Park is a semi-permanent street circuit that is set at a real public park. Its beautiful lakeside setting is unique to any other race on the calendar.

The Albert Park Circuit has been part of the Formula 1 roster since its addition in 1996. It has been a consistent presence on the calendar and has frequently opened the Formula 1 calendar since its inclusion. The stunning Albert Park setting is unique to any other race on the calendar as the race takes place across a real public park. While the track is technical like a traditional street circuit, it is also far quicker, often being recognised as one of Formula 1’s fastest tracks.

This speed has only gotten quicker since its 2022 redesign that saw multiple corners removed, opening the track up even more, allowing drivers to go flat out for large stretches of the race. Due to the Albert Park Circuit traditionally opening up the F1 calendar, the track is used as a benchmark race for many teams and drivers. The race helps provide first real indicators as to whether or not any car enhancements have made the desired impact in comparison when put up against the competition.
