Indeed Winton did add an extra K but also added more slow corners.
The potential was there to get a faster, more flowing track but look at the average speeds.
Vroom, break. 2nd gear,turn.
Vroom, break, 2nd gear, turn......etc.
Would have been much more fun if turn 10 (Old 8) was a sweeper onto the new (10 year old) bit of track.
Anyway, for what it is worth MHO, the V8 Supercars are challenged at every track they go to.
At Phillip Island they get very confused because the have to learn their way to the top end of the gear box.
In China they have to work hard to produce some GRATE racing. ouch!
In Darwin they get hot and bothered.
Adelaide has concrete to sort them out.
At Eastern Creek they're confused because no one bothers to watch.
Life can be hard sometimes.
