All You Need To Know About Australian F1 GP

The Australian Grand Prix, one of the oldest motorsport events in Australia, is contracted to host Formula One until 2035. First held at Phillip Island in 1928, the race has taken place at 23 different venues. It became part of the Formula One World Championship in 1985. Since 1996, the event has been held at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, except for 2020 and 2021, when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before moving to Melbourne, it was held in Adelaide.

The Australian Grand Prix began at Phillip Island in 1928 and was officially named in 1929. Bugatti dominated early on, and post-war races resumed at Mount Panorama in 1947, rotating among various circuits. The Tasman Series (1963-1969) attracted top European teams and drivers like Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren. In the 1970s, the Grand Prix featured Formula 5000 cars, with notable winners such as Frank Matich and Max Stewart. The 1980s saw Calder Park hosting the event, combining Formula One and Formula 5000 cars, with Alan Jones and Roberto Moreno as key figures. Attempts to secure a World Championship race at Calder Park and Sandown failed.

Economic Impact of the Australian Grand Prix

The economic impact of the Australian Grand Prix is contentious. Supporters claim it boosts tourism, creates jobs, and generates millions for Victoria, while critics argue it costs taxpayers and causes disruptions. In 2014, the Victorian government reported an annual impact of $32-$39 million, despite opponents citing over $50 million in costs. A 2022 Ernst & Young assessment estimated $92 million in direct spending and a $171 million boost to the Gross State Product. However, reports, including a 2005 Auditor-General analysis, found net economic losses, with costs often exceeding benefits. Over the decade leading up to 2022, the event cost taxpayers $537.5 million, with the 2022 event alone costing $78.1 million but generating $75.1 million in revenue.

Spectator Attendance Trends Since 1995

Since the Australian Grand Prix moved to Melbourne, spectator attendance peaked at 452,055 in 2024 but has never matched the last Adelaide race in 1995. Attendance dropped slightly in 2009 due to the global financial crisis and a public transport strike, but rebounded to 305,000 in 2010. Precise crowd figures are not released due to security concerns, but official estimates have been provided.
