- INFO: is a temporary street circuit in the East Parklands adjacent to the Adelaide central business district in South Australia, Australia. The 3.780-kilometre (2.349 mi) "Grand Prix" version of the track hosted eleven Formula One Australian Grand Prix events from 1985 to 1995, as well as an American Le Mans Series endurance race on New Year's Eve in 2000 (Race of a Thousand Years). Between 1999 and 2020, a shortened version of the circuit was used for the Adelaide 500 touring car race. A sprint version of the circuit was used after 2014.

At the end of the straight, drivers negotiate the SENNA CHICANE, so named after triple World Champion Ayrton Senna. After the chicane the cars take a fast left turn to go uphill on a short straight on WAKEFIELD Road to East Terrace. They then have a series of right angle turns along East Terrace. The short form of the track has three of these. Followed by fourth onto Bartels Road back across the parklands. Then the track follows the fast turn 8 sweeper. This corner was re-configured in 2009 and it produced some protests from many of the teams due to its speed and lack of runoff area. Turn 8 has been the site of many crashes in the various categories that have used the shortened version of the circuit. The full Grand Prix circuit bypasses the turn onto Bartels Road and continues with a sweeping left-right-right into Stag Turn (turn 9). This leads onto the 360-metre-long Jones Straight, known as Rundle Road for the rest of the year and named after Australia's 1980 World Champion Alan Jones. Then there is a fast right-hand sweeper (known as Brewery Bend) onto the 900-metre-long BRABHAM STRAIGHT (named for Jack Brabham), on DEQUETTEVILLE Terrace. The short form of the track rejoins Brabham Straight ⅔ of the way down, so the 640-metre-long Bartels Road straight is longest on that layout. In 2007 this section of track was renamed Brock Straight after touring car driver Peter Brock. At the end of Brabham Straight is a right hand hairpin turn (at the Britannia Roundabout) onto Wakefield Road, then a left turn and long sweeping right hand curve back into Victoria Park behind the pit area. The lap concludes with another right-hand hairpin (Racetrack Hairpin) onto the pit straight.
