Australian Formula One Grand Prix

The Australian Grand Prix is a Formula One Championship race now held at Melbourne's permanent Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park. The Australian Grand Prix has only been part of the F1 world championship season since
1985 where is it was first held over a street circuit in Adelaide. It continued to be held in Adelaide until 1995. In 1996 the race moved to Melbourne where it features as the opening round of the championshsip season. In the 2006 season Melbourne saw the 3rd round race due to its hosting of the Commonwealth Games at the time when they would normally have hosted the Grand Prix.

Melbourne is renowned as Australia's sports obsessed capital that also plays host to the Australian Open Tennis, the Melbourne Ashes Cricket Test Match between Australia and England, the Melbourne Cup (the world biggest handi-capped horse race), the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and of course the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final that boasts the highest attendance for any domestic championship grand final in the world. At these times it is wise to book your hotel or apartment well ahead of time.

The Australian Grand Prix delivers 4 days of high octane thrills and spills that are never short of glamour and excitement, attacting tens of thousands to enjoy the throttling engines and roaring crowds. This is one the Melbourne's busiest times for hotel and apartment accommodaton, from luxury to executive, to tourist and budget accommodation.

Since the 2002 Austalian Grand Prix when Mark Webber achieved the best result by an Australian driver for the Minardi team, taking advantage of circumstances to finish fifth, the event in Melbourne has grown in popularity. Webber enjoyed a greater national celebrity for his fifth placing far beyond the race's winner, Michael Schumacher.
