Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Untitled[edit]

I think it would be a good idea to merge the two together, I seen the Thunderdome one and decided to create this one for the main circuit, merging the two together would be great. Also the additional information and layout changes you provided to the article are very well done, it looks more presentable now. I am new to wikipedia so thought I would upload some pictures and information to get things started. (Virtualr84 16:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Merge done. The Thunderdome section might still have some bits better moved to either History or Motorsport sections. I'm also not certain I put the main Thunderdome section in the right place, but it seemed "less bad" there than anywhere else. There is conflicting info about what the first/only race on the Grand Prix circuit was, and who won it (follow the season link) - I tagged both versions as needing references. The article would improve with a photo of racing on the Thunderdome, and perhaps a World Touring Car race photo if we could find one. --Scott Davis ^Talk 12:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Circuit layout[edit]

I'd suggest getting rid of the main photo of the Thunderdome - it's not representative of the track layout at all, which is more like the images used further down the article. The main images makes it look like a tri-oval, which it most definitely was not. From memory there's about 180 metres between the inner edge of turns 4 and 1. --Tim

Lap times and lap records[edit]

Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll get around to getting some better data on actual typical lap times and lap records for both the National circuit and the Thunderdome - I'm currently in the process of processing all of the old timing data from events held there over the years. In time I'd like to release the entire raw and processed timing data files from all events (will need to discuss first with Calder Park Motorsport), though will need to sterilize it to remove personal information. --Tim Rowe ^Talk 23:05, 20 May 2018 (AEST)
