The Bend Motorsport Park (International Circuit)

The Bend’s International Circuit has a big, open rhythm with long gaps between key complexes, so the lap is defined by momentum swings rather than constant stop-start work. Corner 6 is the heavyweight lap-time corner, with corner 11 also carrying major significance as the circuit tightens into the later sequence; corner 4 and corner 8 add to that mix by linking faster flowing sections with more technical changes of direction. The early lap has a busy, looping feel through corners 1–5, then opens into the faster mid-sector before the final third compresses again, giving the place a distinctive modern Australian “big circuit” character.
