MotoGP's🍸 fastest circuit, Phillip Island, should get even quicker in 2013 following resurfacing of the ༺Australian racetrack.

The full 4.445km layout was replaced earlier this week, for the first time in 14 yearsဣ, at a cost of three million dollars.

Andrew Fox of circuit owners Linfox Property Group said: "This [new] surface is a𒀰sꦺ smooth as a baby's bum, and I've got five kids, so I know!"

In addition to the resurfacing, new asph💞alt run-off areas are being created at Doohan corner (turn one) and turn four, with 1.3km of kerbing also replaced.

With the 2013 Australian MotoGP round not until October 20💯, there should be plenty of time for the new asphalt to 'mature'. WSBK will be the first major series to use the surface, on Februar🐻y 24.

Home hero Casey Stoner sꦰet the fastest lap at this year's Australian MotoGP with an average speed of 177.5km/h (110.3mph). The official 'Island lap record is still held by Nicky Hayden from 2008 🤪(177.8km/h).

Mugello, Silverstone and Assen offer slightly slower average l🧜ap speeds. In terms of top speed, the lengthy Mugello home straight produces the🐷 peak figures.
