The Reid Park Street Circuit is reminiscent of the
Albert Park Circuit's parkland setting. It winds its way through Reid Park where specially constructed roads form approximately 70 percent of the circuit. The circuit borders the
Townsville State High School and Townsville Civic Theatre, crosses the
Ross Creek multiple times and runs adjacent to
Townsville railway station. The circuit's pit building, and much of the Reid Park infrastructure, is a permanent construction that can be used all year round for various events. The event also has five viewing mounds/grandstands that can seat approximately 12,000.
Paul Dumbrell suggested it is a high grip circuit, while
Mark Winterbottom stated that the circuit is like a standard racing circuit but in the middle of a city. Winterbottom described the first corner as almost a clone to the high speed turn eight at the
Adelaide Street Circuit, noting that it also produces a great passing opportunity exiting the corner. ==Supercars Championship==
