It's quite wide down through there as it is also used as a drag strip, so plenty of room to get a number of cars jockeying for position across the width of the track. Quicker than it looks on the footage too.
Area off the track on the left was compromised with the "joiner" tarmac section over to the thunder dome (built to enable races to use both the dome and the regular circuit as part of each lap) - in following years that area was dealt with differently with concrete barriers in place etc.
Calder lost its CAMS track licence in 2002 or 2003 and I don't believe has ever had one again. Supercars stopped going there at that time.
