The Grand Prix was first staged in Melbourne in 1996 when the Government subsidy was $1.7 million.
So it's the things around the Grand Prix that is going to make it a more sociable period of the year, in much the same way as the Spring Racing Carnival is a major event.
And the Grand Prix has that potential, but at the moment I think it is still fundamentally based on the ingredients that were very creatively contributed when we won the event and when we first staged it in 1996.

ADELAIDE -- Grand Prix time has to be one of the most wasteful, stinking, noisy, dangerous and hateful weekends to spend in Adelaide.
For all this, South Australian taxpayers are required to pay $3.5 million, to cover the loss on this Grand Prix.

With a grand prix history stretching all the way back to the beginning of the championship in 1950, the small principality on the French Riviera is completely taken over for grand prix week with barriers being installed as the street circuit is set up on public roads around the centre of Monte Carlo.
From the tight hairpins at La Rascasse and Loews (Now sadly known as Grand Hotel Hairpin), to the 290kph (180mph) blast through the tunnel, the driver is constantly having to earn his money.
The tight nature of the circuit makes overtaking almost impossible, as Nigel Mansell found out in 1992 when in his superior Williams on fresh tyres, the Brit exited the pits directly behind Senna and despite ducking and diving for the final handful of laps could not get past and had to settle for second.
