F1: 5 Best Street Circuits on the calendar.

#2 Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, Australia

Albert Park, Melbourne

Also known as the Albert Park circuit, is located around the Albert Lake, Melbourne. The circuit has been regularly hosting the Melbourne Grand Prix since 1996 despite the fact that it has also been hosting the Supercars Championship Melbourne 400. Every year the temporary stands, pits, fences and motorsport infrastructures would be erected two months prior to the race week and would be removed 5 weeks after the event. In the remaining 9 months of the year, the same track roads serve as normal transportation roads for the ordinary street-registered vehicles both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Though called as a street circuit it can also be classed as a park circuit surrounded by a lakeside stadium, a golf course, restaurants, rowing boathouses and an aquatic center. The track is so smooth and fast despite being a street circuit. The drivers have always liked this course as they feel the corners are placed well consistently, free of bumps and uneven curbs. However, the flat terrain around lake consisting of long narrow straights doesn't support overtaking easily.
