In spite of all the controversies, Albert Park eventually became the home of Melbourne’s Australian Grand Prix. It became well-known among Formula One teams and drivers for its smoothness and high-speed corners. The 16-turn circuit measures 5.3 kilometres long at present. According to enthusiasts, it looks very much like one other street circuit set up in a public park—the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal—host of the Canadian Grand Prix.
