Track details: The West Circuit variation is shorter (~3.41 km) with 12 turns (or around that based on layout info).

The shorter layout allows more intense racing, tighter corners and more opportunities for overtaking.

Why it matters: A second visit to The Bend keeps momentum high. Sponsors benefit from repeated exposure in the same iconic venue within the season.

Exposure potential: Repeating at the same venue can amplify brand recognition. Although specific ratings for AU4 are not published, comparison to other motorsport shows suggests a meaningful audience: for instance, the Bathurst 1000 reached over 4 million viewers
