Barbagallo Raceway has undergone a major facelift over the last six months in anticipation of the 2012 round of the V8 Supercar championship in Perth, WA.
Orrcon Steel has played a major part in the refurbishment with our steel being used to build one of the most crucial pieces of the puzzles for all racing fans – the pedestrian walk bridge.
The 63m long bridge - which is suspended over the track - allows fans access to the brand new pit lane building located on the infield of the track.
“This year we come back to a refurbished Barbagallo Raceway and after talking to a couple of the drivers who visited the track earlier this year it seems we’re in for a real treat,” commented V8 Supercar driver Mark “Frosty” Winterbottom.
“We now have a brand new pit garage facility on the infield of the track and thanks to some sturdy Orrcon Steel the track has been equipped with a pedestrian walk bridge over the main straight to allow fans access to the pit paddock.
“What a great initiative by Barbagallo. Now the fans will be able to walk right up to the rear of the pit garage to really get behind the scenes of our awesome Championship thanks, literally, to the support of Orrcon Steel!”
