SIGN UP HERE CANBERRA STREET CIRCUIT The Canberra Street Circuit was a temporary 3.9-kilometre street circuit located in the Parliamentary Triangle area of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, featuring 15 turns and hosting rounds of the V8 Supercars Championship (now known as the Supercars Championship) from 2000 to 2002. Established to bring motorsport to Australia's capital and make the championship truly national by including every state and territory, the circuit debuted with the inaugural GMC 400 event in 2000 during the Queen's Birthday long weekend, followed by a second GMC 400 in 2001 and the Stegbar Canberra 400 in 2002.These events adopted a unique weekend format, including a full reverse-grid race on Saturday based on the previous day's results, which added unpredictability but was later discontinued after brief use elsewhere in the series. The circuit's layout started on a pit straight along Langton Crescent near the Treasury Building and National Library, weaving through landmarks such as the Old Parliament House and Parliament House via Queen Victoria Terrace, Kings Avenue, State Circle, and Flynn Drive, with notable features like a bumpy "Bus Stop" chicane and a roundabout section where cars raced on the wrong side of the road. Despite initial promise, the event ended prematurely after 2002 when the five-year contract was terminated due to financial risks, low spectator turnout, narrow roads limiting overtaking, and harsh mid-winter conditions, with ACT officials citing insufficient tourism benefits. Round winners included Steven Richards for Gibson Motorsport in 2000, Steven Johnson for Dick Johnson Racing in 2001, and Mark Skaife for the Holden Racing Team in 2002, who dominated the final round with victories in the opening and closing races amid incidents like wheel losses and crashes that highlighted the track's challenging, bumpy surface. The circuit's short-lived tenure left a legacy of visible remnants, such as faded kerbing and resurfaced bumps, on the public roads today, while occasional proposals for a Supercars return to Canberra have surfaced without fruition.

Hi John, Both this track and Montjuic give me a catastrophic error when trying to decompress. Anyone else having this issue?
Hi John, I downloaded the latest winrar and it did the same as explorer and 7-zip. I have attached a screen shot. I will try the download on a different computer and see if it still has an issue.
Weird! It is a computer issue! I just unpacked them on my office computer and they worked perfectly. Something I will trouble shoot another time on my game computer as I need to go figure out which car to use where and I am running out of time. lol I have not raced online for a year so I may be a little rusty.
Just a word of caution regarding WinRar. My information is that it is no longer supported or getting updated and is therefore potentially a risk if it should get downloaded from a non-verifiable site. I'd stick to 7-Zip which can handle all compressed formats safely.
Thanks Ken. I have been using 7-zip for years now. I have to trouble shoot this computer to see why it is erroring. That's for later now!
