The organisers of the season opening Australian Grand Prix have announced that an additional grandstand will be constructed to meet the demand for tickets.
The Moss Grandstand will be located between the pit lane exit and turn 1, adding an additional 844 seats.
Andrew Westacott, CEO of the Australian GP Corporation, says the demand for tickets has been overwhelming for this seasons race.
“Due to an overwhelming response, existing grandstands are almost at capacity and we are excited to announce that we will build another stand at Turn 1,” he confirmed.
“With less than two weeks until the country’s premier international motorsport event kicks off, Australians are supporting the sport like never before.”
The circuit currently has a capacity of around 80,000.
