Albert Park will lose its former recognizability

      The track at Albert Park, which this year will host the first race of the season, will lose its former recognizability. Now the track is being brought into compliance with the latest FIA standards, among the works in preparation for the Australian Grand Prix and the refusal of yellow stripes of road markings - now it will be only white. The track markings were yellow because of its location in a public park, where yellow lines denoted a ban on parking. At one time the organizers agreed with the FIA to keep this marking during race weekends, but now they have to make changes - the marking should be white with a blue outline. We have already written about other works in Albert Park - this is the reconstruction of the sixth turn, where the barrier was moved and the TecPro protection was repositioned, so that after the departure of cars did not bounce back on the track, and improving the comfort of spectators with the installation of a new pedestrian bridge.
