Even if they did getting a track layout to F1 standard is only a very small part of running a Grand Prix.The location of The Bend means it couldn’t handle movement of Albert Park sized crowds in and out of the venue even if the state government was willing to fund the whole thing.
Also as much as I loved Adelaide at the time-and I went to all the Grand Prix there except for the last one-it had pretty much outgrown the venue 25 years ago.Think of F1 around St Petersburg and that’s pretty much what F1 around Adelaide would be like now.
