I wish they would lose Crofty somewhere on the way over to Australia

Proper Albert Park racing...
Aside from maybe Bathurst I don't watch enough Supercars; that was a cracking race!

Stolen from The Race - here's a list of the tracks that will suffer from the most energy starvation leading to lots of LiCo and super-clipping, worst being at the top.
Shanghai this weekend should be a lot less susceptible to it given the multiple big braking zones, and long slow sweeping corners where they can recharge.

Is "Max recharge" related to what they're likely able to achieve, or what the FIA mandates? Assuming the later since 9MJ was announced for China.
I don't get why there are so many track-level limits. You have a fixed capacity of 4MJ and fixed deployment limit.

From how they phrased it in the video, this is what the cars are able to achieve given the amount and severity of the braking zones, along with the max rate of recharge.
There's no specific limit in the rules which governs how much energy can be recovered for each circuit.

There are max recharge limits per lap, which they've upped for China although I don't know why they bother limiting recharge at all.
See now that’s a problem. You have Monza “the temple of speed” being completely hindered by the new regs. Bonkers.
The reason they have track limits is to stop them using "extreme" strategies to harvest more energy potentially creating dangerous or erratic driver behaviour. They could have gone with the lower energy limit, I guess, but that would mean they're less powerful and less flexible round the track.
I imagine it's safety-related but it doesn't stop a team from doing extreme harvesting if that's what works well for them at a particular point in the track. Also makes managing energy challenging.
I'm obviously far from an expert and don't have sufficient data to prove anything, but I feel like the sport will move towards scaled rate-based recharge and deployment, which would entirely remove sudden variances in speed.
David Coulthard and Mark Blundell were happy to sign this Michael Turner print for me, by their respective Williams and McLaren.
But Martin Brundle in the Ligier 'isn't up for it'.
Shame. I was genuinely surprised by that.
