Talk:Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit

Future Formula One Grand Prix
This is very essay style and more than a touch of speculation, is this really the place for such an article? --Falcadore (talk) 03:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Indycar unofficial testing to be added to lap records
In 2018 a 2011 spec indycar was driven in testing around Phillip Island gp circuit, should this be added to the page looking for advise on wording as I’m a new user. Thanks // Sourcing: Speedcafe showing video of the car on track .// Image distributed online of the test data from the day of test with lap time. Name and track shown .// News release from race torque showing the lap time will not be offical unless it is set in a race meeting.

In late October 2018 Mathew Radisich drove his 2011 spec conquest racing IndyCar during testing at the Phillip island Grand Prix track as a part of unofficial practice day, with images distributed online of his recorded Cosworth data showing a Lap time archived of 1:17.005 in unofficial practice was set. However as this time was not set during a race meeting, it does not count as a official lap record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motorlover98 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I have made some small changes to the wording, nothing controversial I don't think, but let me know. Also as I said on your talk page, I'm still not overly happy with the "source" being used for the time but I'm not going to remove it myself. A7V2 (talk) 23:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Lap Records
The MotoGP lap record was broken by Jorge Martin on the 15th October 2022. The new lap record is 1:27.767 (This is an all time outright record and not a race lap record) The record was achieved in the Qualifying session.

 * I've reverted your rash change - as previously, from another editor, that you know about and have reacted to by repeating with another unwise similar change.


 * Lap records can ONLY be set in an actual race, with OTHER RACE TRAFFIC on the course, under full-race conditions.


 * Qualifying is just furore from the motor-mouth commentators and click bait website writers - come to our site so we can bombard you with advertising. Often the racers use super-soft grade tyres (or also known as qualifying tyres) that are too-soft to last the race. Some qualifiers can only last one or two laps. Also fuel loads are deliberately low, meaning less weight and better agility.


 * Absolute or all-time records - whereas they are headline-grabbing - should be disregarded, as only serve to promote confusion from those who are inexperienced.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 04:05, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
