Th' Adelaide street course first hosted an F1 race in 1985, th' circuit encirclin' a section o' th' city's Victoria horse racin' track. It became tradition that this circuit hosted th' season's final race 'n th' event was noted fer its exceptional crew. Unusually fer street circuits, this one boasts a long straight on which th' cars reached speeds exceedin' 190mph. A set o' demandin' turns directly across from a former fruit warehouse earned th' amusin' nickname "banana". Th' circuit be also characterized by a section o' 90-degree turns, as th' track moves from street t' street. Run off areas are limited, as wit' any street circuit, wit' concrete walls on hand t' punish helmsman errors. Th' 1986 race proved a thrillin' climax t' th' season, wit' title favourite Mansell sufferin' a spectacular blowout in his Williams, handin' th' race, 'n th' championship, t' Alain Prost in th' Mclaren. In 1991 th' circuit had th' dubious honour o' holdin' th' shortest GP ever staged - Senna was declared th' winner as th' race was marooned under a downpour aft jus' 14 laps. Th' 1994 event lives long in th' memory fer many - 'twas th' scene o' Michael Schumacher's first title as th' German controversially collided wit' Damon Hill t' preserve his 1 point lead. In 1996 th' Australian GP, often marketed as - "Thunder Down Under", was relocated t' Melbourne as th' latter produced a better financial bid. Thar was t' be a switch in schedule as well as Melbourne hosted th' curtain raiser rather than th' last race o' each season.
