The Surfers Paradise Street Circuit is a temporary street circuit at Surfers Paradise, in South East Queensland, Australia. The challenging track has several fast sections and four chicanes. It is the third of three motor racing circuits that have existed in the Surfers Paradise area, after the Southport Street Circuit (1954) and Surfers Paradise International Raceway (1966–1987). Ron Dickson, the president of D3 Motorsport Development held the rights for Champ Car internationally in the 1980s. After a brief meeting with State Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen the event was confirmed for Queensland, and Surfers Paradise was chosen over Brisbane. The circuit currently hosts the Gold Coast 600 event of the V8 Supercars championship. ==Circuit construction== The circuit that was run on until 2009 was designed by Ron Dickson of D3 Motorsport Development and was the fourth concept put forward for the Surfers Paradise area. This work was carried out in 1988 and was first raced on in 1991.The construction of the circuit has been acclaimed internationally and is used as a benchmark for new temporary street circuits world-wide. Over a full 12-month period plans are laid and then implemented to transform a bustling residential, commercial and holiday destination into a temporary street circuit capable of facilitating high-speed motor races and hundreds of thousands of people. The circuit construction since 2009 has been project managed by local Gold Coast firm iEDM who specialise in motorsport venue engineering and delivery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iedm.com.au/motorsport-engineering )〕 In a two-month period leading up to the event, seven bridges are erected, 2,515 concrete barriers installed, 11,500 grandstand seats fastened, more than 140 corporate suites furnished, of debris fencing and of security fencing placed, many more temporary structures fitted, and large-scale power and telecommunications systems activated. The circuit is also an international leader in motor racing safety standards applauded by the Confederation of Australian Motorsport and the FIA (the international governing body of motorsport). One of the major advancements over the past few years has been an increase in double height debris fencing including an additional 610 panels in high impact areas in 2005. 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「Surfers Paradise Street Circuit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
