This Weekend at the Adelaide 500

The circuit in East End Adelaide was first established back in 1985 and used for the Grand Prix, and some highlights from the Grand Prix history on the website include;


Keke Rosberg’s win in the inaugural race
Nigel Mansell’s tyre blowing loss of the World Championship in 1986
The rain-soaked victory of Thierry Boutsen in 1989
Piquet’s victory at the 500th Grand Prix in 1990 in front of former World Champions Fangio, Stewart, Hulme, Hunt and Brabham
The shortest Grand Prix in history with 14 laps of ‘ice-skating’ in 1991 with victory to Senna
The clash between Mansell and Senna taking both men out in 1992 with victory to Berger; Prost’s last race in 1993
The Hill-Schumacher clash in 1994 giving the World Championship to Schumacher and race victory to Mansell
And the sell-out final Grand Prix in 1995 with victory going to Damon Hill are among the many highlights.
