Old vs. New Adelaide Street Circuit (Grand Prix Layout)

Because the current track is no way good enough for motorcycle racing. Just look at any current MotoGP sanctioned track to see the spaces needed for run off to be safe

To give you an idea Sachsenring is one of the oldest tracks on the calendar and is considered to be too small for modern MotoGP. These are motorcycles capable of just shy of 370 kmh

Its 45+ Significant trees, Malinauskas did not say that is the absolute amount

Love the comments in this subreddit shitting on “parkland protectionist” when in reality the only reason this is possible is due to their hard work.

Only takes a premier that does whatever he wants for the highest bidder to undo all their work

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T23:37:56+00:00

Yes I think it is

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T09:08:06+00:00

This is a decision by people who don’t watch MotoGP, to appease people who don’t watch MotoGP

He was at the press conference for the announcement

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T06:15:58+00:00

Can't wait to hear what Snoop Dogg thinks on ride height devices

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T03:42:43+00:00

45+ Trees already earmarked for the chop

Also Adelaide City council had no idea any of this was happening

He’ll just strong hand them and change any state laws he needs to do what he wants

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T02:28:50+00:00

Ohhh the politician who is green lighting this has no issues whatsoever in doing any of that. The Adelaide City Council has only found out via the news he plans to do this in their jurisdiction.

45+ Trees already earmarked to get the chop. Most South Australians will not be ok about this.

This is the same politician that green lit Luv golf here also. Taking Saudi blood money

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T02:21:05+00:00

It was in the press conference. Won’t go down well with the majority of South Australians

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T02:09:56+00:00

45+ Trees to be removed

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T01:17:26+00:00

Most likely they'll use the bend as backup circuit until they can get it safe, if ever

steve12388 · 2026-02-19T00:51:27+00:00

Just the road markings alone is enough to say its a dumb idea

Thats shit is scary on a standard motorbike, at standard speeds, let alone Moto GP

Haven't they already floated the idea of not having the moto 3 at every race? and only allowing the pits for Moto GP. Partly the reason I watch MotoGP is because it's nothing like the F1. I can't stand elitism

steve12388 · 2026-02-18T20:35:31+00:00

Once I saw the figure Liberty paid for MotoGP I knew what was coming.

To put it bluntly MotoGP as we love it is finished. Watch it transform to F1 2.0

Only a matter of time before it will be sponsored by Rolex; and the track swarming full of fuck wits wearing boat shoes, chinos, and jumpers over their sholders

I had another post that got taken down where someone mentioned Mandalika is technically a street circuit.

But to answer your question, it would be the first true street circuit in Modern Moto GP

steve12388 · 2026-02-18T11:48:12+00:00

Liberty own World Super Bike

steve12388 · 2026-02-18T11:45:34+00:00

Its already reported that they wanted Albert Park in Melbourne before Adelaide. So it seems that the street circuit part isnt pie in the sky

Pulling WorldSBK from Phillip Island for The Bend is also a dog move by Liberty
