Although a temporary installation, the Albert Park circuit is unlike any other, set in a beautiful park around a huge artificial lake to the south of the city, and the organisers have mastered the art of providing excellent facilities overnight.The circuit winds over roadways around the park and is a good combination of high-, medium- and low-speed corners, including a couple of chicanes and several overtaking areas in braking zones.
The Albert Park circuit has been used before, for six years in the 1950's, and was the venue for the Australian GP for F1 cars (but not part of the World Championship) in 1953 and '56, when it was won by Stirling Moss in a Maserati 250F; it also ran international Formula Libre and Touring Car races. In its modern guise, Melbourne has proved to be as popular as Adelaide with the F1 teams and fans, and has now assumed the role of traditional season-opener.
