For a decade from 1985, Adelaide hosted one of the world's premier motor-racing events, the Australian Formula One (F1) Grand Prix.

The city circuit and Grand Prix carnival attracted international race fans and celebrities and drew a worldwide television audience.

Elite F1 drivers like Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Alain Prost drove the renowned street circuit.

The Grand Finale of 'Adelaide Alive!' in November 1995 saw the conclusion of one of the states most successful sporting events, with record crowds over the carnival and a sell-out for F1 on the final day.
