Queensland Raceway
 Queensland Raceway, situated near Ipswich is also known as the
'Paperclip' on account of its U-shaped layout. The circuit, opened in
1999, offers four different layouts. The main straight is named after
Queensland's best-known motor sportsman: five-time Australian touring
car champion Dick Johnson officially opened the pit lane named after him
on 16 August 2001.
Various structures, such as the pit lane buildings and grandstands are
to be found on the outside of the circuit. The infield is totally
undeveloped, permitting unbridled views of the entire circuit for
spectators. The circuit was totally re-asphalted in the autumn of 2011.
