Profile
Temporary circuits often come in for a lot of flak for being narrow and failing to offer any points at which overtaking may take place. Not so Adelaide, which offered straights long and wide enough for slipstreaming and banzai outbraking manoeuvres. The concrete walls that lined its length were hard, though, as Mika Hakkinen discovered in 1995, suffering serious head injuries. The South Australian city was small enough to totally embrace the grand prix, its end-of-season parties.
