The Craziest F1 Tracks No Longer in the Calendar

#3 Adelaide Street Circuit

Grand Prix of Australia was held on Adelaide's streets

The Adelaide Street Circuit was not like the other street circuits. It was built into the central business district of Adelaide and held the first Australian Grand Prix in 1985. It offered the drivers some quick corners and the final sector had a nice flow to it. And it had the long Brabham straight.

Adelaide also hosted the shortest ever F1 race in history in 1991 as the rain turned the race into chaos and it was stopped after 16 laps out of the planned 81 was completed. Ayrton Senna won the short race ahead of Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger.

The last F1 race was held there in 1995 and the Australian GP has since been held in Melbourne. Mika Häkkinen had a big accident in Adelaide in 1995, but luckily he was back on the grid in Melborune next year.
