The Lowood Airfield Circuit was a motor racing venue in Queensland, Australia which was used from 1946 to 1966. It was located at a former wartime airfield site at Mount Tarampa, near Lowood, 72 km west of the state capital Brisbane. The circuit utilised the airfield’s runway for its 1.9 km long 200 metre wide main straight and also used various taxiways and tarmac from the old hangar area.〔The Maquarie Dictionary of Motoring, 1986, page 283〕 Lap distance was .〔Graham Howard & Stewart Wilson, Australian Touring Car Championship - 30 fabulous years, 1989, page 30〕 The circuit was first used in June 1946 for the running of the Queensland Grand Prix, however it hosted only occasional meetings between then and 1956. In that year the Queensland Racing Drivers’ Club took over the site, hosting their first meeting there in November and subsequently developing the circuit into Queensland’s premier motor racing venue. The circuit was closed in November 1966.〔 ==Australian Drivers Championship== Rounds of the Australian Drivers' Championship were held at Lowood each year from 1957 to 1962.〔Racing Car News, August 1972 "Guide to The Gold Star" supplement〕 * 1957 Round 5 - Lex Davison – Ferrari 625/750 * 1957 Round 6 - Stan Jones – Maserati 250F * 1958 Round 5 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Climax * 1958 Round 6 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Climax * 1959 Round 6 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Climax * 1959 Round 7 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Climax * 1960 Round 3 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Maserati * 1960 Round 4 - Alec Mildren – Cooper Maserati * 1961 Round 3 – Bill Patterson – Cooper Climax * 1962 Round 3 – Greg Cusack – Cooper Climax 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lowood Airfield Circuit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
