A sign of things to come for Red Bull? It’s not just the F1 that races around Albert Park on these weekends and earlier today Will Brown and the Red Bull Ampol Racing took out the Larry Perkins Trophy.
For those of you unfamiliar with Melbourne, today’s circuit is located almost in the centre of town, snaking its way around the picturesque surroundings of Albert Park Lake, with with Port Phillip Bay and the city’s skyline in the backdrop. A street circuit, the arrival of the race every year forces local football club South Melbourne, who currently compete in the National Premier League Victoria competition – referred to as “the centre of the universe” by some of the league’s followers – to vacate their home at Lakeside Stadium for an extended period of games on the road.
