Albert Park will undergo a few minor changes due to the new regulations for 2017.
The 2017 cars are expected to be three to four seconds faster as new aerodynamic rules come into play. Keeping up with safety standards, Albert Park, where the Australian Grand Prix is held will change slightly.
“The FIA gave us instructions, based on the simulations they’ve done, on which turns would need additional tyre buffers, or in the case of Turn 12 inclusion of a high-speed barrier,” Craig Moca, Divisions Manager of Infrastructure at the AGPC.
“We took all the information we received from the FIA, and being a temporary circuit we had to manufacture additional tyre buffers and purchase 80 metres worth of the TecPro barrier.”
“That’s a big step for us from being an old-school track where we’ve got tyres and conveyor belts, to having these high-speed barriers.”
