Track Infos from Wiki :
Lakeside Park, formerly known as Lakeside International Raceway is a motor racing circuit located in Kurwongbah, Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. It is 30 km (18.6 mi) north of Brisbane, and lies adjacent to Lake Kurwongbah.
The circuit is known as the spiritual home of Queensland motorsport and was built by volunteers and borrowed machinery in the 1960s. The 2.41 km (1.50 mi) circuit opened in 1961 and was closed in mid-2001. The circuit reopened on 5 April 2008, with a race meeting held the following day.
The circuit was the venue for a wide range of racing series including the Australian Grand Prix on two occasions, the Australian Touring Car Championship, the Australian Superbike Championship and the Tasman Series, playing host to such names as Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill and Chris Amon.
Virtual Track Infos :
Standing start works best. AIW file needs help. So if you can, please do ! Representations of Lakeside International Raceway are granted under licence from Queensland Raceways Holdings Pty Ltd, 2009.
The name Lakeside Park, Lakeside International Raceway, Lakeside raceway are owned by Queensland Raceways. I have exclusive licence for naming and likeness for 10 years. This track is now leased for 40 years which is great as the track was going to be demolished to make way for housing. It has just undergone a $2.5m facelift.
This is a scratch built using Bob’s Track Builder, 3DSimEd and 3Ds Max 8.0 and Photoshop CS4.
This track is accurate as possible as of the 11/11/09

Known Issues:
– Bumps in track. There are lots of bumps and undulations that are not as prominant at the real track. It gives a bit of charactor and is fun
– Unknown performance on lower end machines. Runs great under Vista, W7 and XP in DX9
– May have a longish load time
– Some AI cars do not like the ripple strips
– No start lights. This is a club day track

There is no part of this track that can be modded or updated without permission.
There will be versions for GTL, GTR Evo down the track and I look forward to further updates and improvements as time goes by.
Please, I do accept constructive critisizm, not destructive.
