How much more interesting would the Aussie GP be if they used Mount Panorama instead of Melbourne's Albert Park?

that would be awesome if they went round there, going down the chase would be amazing
the V8 super cars do about 160mph down there

Button knocked 20 secs off the existing lap record in Hamilton's 2008 car not a great deal when you consider the time differential between saloon race cars/ GT and F1 on more conventional GP circuits

To be fair it's far from the smooth and grippy surface that an F1 car loves, and the only areas I'd expect a huge difference would be the few high speed corners and two long straights. Plus Lowndes was only a second off Button's time, so there would be more to come with an optimised set-up and bigger balls.
