The Arena - Adelaide Sports Narrated Tour
Adelaide held the world record for the largest Formula 1 crowd ever assembled — 520,000 people across four days in 1995 — and then watched Melbourne steal the race under cover of aliases and backroom deals. The city mourned for exactly four years before putting V8 Supercars on the same circuit, turning it into the sport's season decider, and then — in February 2026 — swooping on MotoGP the day after Victoria refused the terms, securing the world's first ever MotoGP street race from 2027. And on this journey, you ride that circuit yourself.
This is a city where a cricket match nearly caused a diplomatic war between nations. Where Donald Budge launched the first Grand Slam in tennis history and almost nobody remembers. Where a public parklands golf course is about to host a US$25 million tournament. Where Phar Lap ran and three brothers from the same beachside suburb all played Test cricket for Australia. The Arena is a bike and tram journey through the ovals, courts, circuits, and tracks where Adelaide wrote its sporting story — from the Bodyline Test of 1933 to a MotoGP deal signed in 2026. Collect your e-bike at Adelaide Oval, ride through 150 years of sporting history, then catch the tram to the racecourse and the beach. This city has been punching above its weight for a century and a half, and it is not finished yet.
