Australian Grand Prix - Adelaide Adelaide - 81 Laps Adelaide is a street circuit with quite forgiving corners; mistakes rarely result in cars hitting walls or barriers, as in Monaco. However, high G-forces and heavy tyre wear make for plenty of pit stops. Set-up here is about compromise. To achieve lap times as short as 1 minute 17 seconds, cars need to handle the Jones and Brabham straights, and the 90 degree bends equally well.
