This is a very fast circuit with the longest straight in the series, taking up 1.1km of the circuit's 2.9 km length. The actual circuit layout is not overly difficult, but the tropical heat - even in mid winter, makes this without a doubt one of the toughest races on the calendar. I won this round last year and have had some great races in Darwin, so it is up there with my best.

Pre-race report

19 June 2011

Off to Darwin after a 3 week break, the team at FPR have worked hard to strip the car, crack test all components and try to get rid of any bugs in the car. We found a couple of minor things, so we are hoping to go to Darwin with a better package and win like we did last year.

Post-race report

19 June 2011

Great to get two pole positions and be back on the podium after the disappointment of the last two rounds. We all need a boost and this is a lift for my team at FPR and all the Ford fans. We still have some work to do on the soft tyre life, look forward to having a good go on them.
