Adelaide 500<\/h2>\n

01 – 04 March 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Circuit Description<\/h3>\n

The Adelaide street circuit was created in 1985 for a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, bringing Grand Prix racing to Australia for the first time. The heritage created by its eleven-year history as a Grand Prix circuit, has well and truly been upheld with the introduction of V8 Supercars racing in 1999, with the original circuit being reduced in length from 3.78 kilometres to its current 3.22 kilometre form.<\/p>\n
