Queensland Raceway was quickly dubbed the ‘Paperclip’ because of its six-turn design and lack of elevation. Changing temperatures can make this circuit a nightmare for drivers and engineers as its grip level changes at different times of the day. Despite its simple layout, it tends to provide entertaining racing with passing chances at Turn 1, 3, 4 and 6. After five years off the schedule, Ipswich was a popular returnee in 2025.
