On the 70th anniversary of the 1939 GP, in October 2009, the event was held on the same country road circuit that was used in 1939. The course, nestled in the Adelaide Hills, is 14 kilometers long, with 47 corners, a ribbon of road so frighteningly fast, so steeped in mystery, so revered, that it was once acclaimed by multiple Australian Grand Prix winner, Doug Whiteford, as the greatest racing circuit in Australia.
