After many years as a support act, the Australian Supercar championship put in a bid to have a higher priority for the 2007 race, with the possibility of being given pit garage space and thus making it a point scoring round for the Supercars. This choice was turned down by the FIA which lead to the V8 Supercars chosing to end their role as support race, leaving a gap in the support races for the Grand Prix. Many V8 fans see it as cuasing a serious indent on the turn out while the FIA and Grand Prix Teams make no notice of it.
Removed not true - http://grandprix.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=101 - Official Grand Prix Corp. Press release says due to conflict of television rights.
The infobox lists Lex Davidson as having the most wins. Should this infobox only include details for official Formula One races? GK1 06:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
There were some Australian Grand Prix meetings held on the old Yale circuit in Bathurst, Yale was used before the Mount Panorama circuit was opened. There appears to be no mention of this in the article however unfortunately I don't have much information on these events. I will try to locate some further information and enter it as required.

Who sponsored the race in 1994? The article does not say so if any one knows who sponsored it that year please fix. Pattav2 ( talk) 07:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Are there any that are not considered notable - apart from pre-'85? Basically - shouldn't the articles on the Grand Prixs themselves carry this info? -- Falcadore ( talk) 01:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
1987 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.164.133 ( talk) 06:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
A proposed revamp - expansion of the Origins section which really skims over the pre-F1 history of the Grand Prix, I have written a replacement section and placed it here, as its a drastic re-write I thought I'd give interested editors a preview. At this point I have not added my references, but I do have a number of texts lined up for the purpose I just wrote the terxt first.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Falcadore ( talk) 02:29, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
The assertion that Waite won the 1928 AGP "using the handicapped start to beat many faster, more powerful cars to the finish" is, I believe, incorrect. The 1928 chapter in "The Official 50-race history of the Australian Grand Prix" makes it pretty clear that the two races both used a mass start, albeit with the two classes separated in each race. But it was the fastest overall time set by Waite which gave him the victory. GTHO ( talk) 03:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
The part of the article about the Adelaide F1 GP is pretty bad. There's not much there, what's there is largely fluff, and the single source is dead. It already has a "needs expansion" tag, and now needs a source (or more). This was obviously a significant part of the history of the Australian GP. Can anybody help? (I'm not the right person.) HiLo48 ( talk) 07:21, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
There is considerable controversy about how many people actually go to the GP. And from within that number, how many are not on complementary tickets and actually pay their way. (Most people I know who go get free tickets.)
The source for the most recent event describes the number as "estimated". No mention of who did the estimating, and how. It also mention a much smaller estimate from opponents of the race, but that figure didn't make it into the article. Three of the figures for previous years don't even have sources. By just listing the figure claimed by those who want the race to continue, we are taking the side of the promoters and fans, and ignoring other views. Not a good look for Wikipedia.

Hey Guys, Sorry 4 opening a can of worms. Anyways, I see that the 04,06 and 07 aust stad refs were left behind in HiLo48's edit. I assume he/she thinks they are unbiased/reliable(whatever) sources. I couldn't be bothered re-referencing sources 4 the other years where the crowd numbers were the same from both sources. This is the link 4 the 04-08, 10, 12 years, http://www.austadiums.com/sport/results.php?sid=8. I don't know how they obtain their numbers but there it is. Personally the Aust TV and radio ratings is my biggest concern where 5000 people represent the nation but that's not this pg. The figures in aust stad are not exact but close enough, just like every other australian sport (except AFL as you say). It gives readers an idea whether the crowd is up or down and the approxiamte amount of people that attend yr to yr. If you're super-keen just put an asterisk 4 the whole section cos it's all an educated estimate I guess. But then you would have to put an asterisk next to a shitload more pages on wiki. Hope I didn't offend you in this post(as i'm new to wiki). Offfspring227 ( talk) 07:02, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

The Introduction mentions McLaren with 12 wins, but the info box lists both Ferrari and McLaren with 12 wins. There seems like a conflict here, but I do not know the true stats. SquashEngineer ( talk) 20:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Was wondering what some others think about File:2017 Australian GP security team.jpg being used in Australian Grand Prix #Albert Park, Melbourne? It doesn't seem to be really adding much encyclopedically to the article per WP:IUP#Adding images to articles in my opinion, and there's no corresponding content about Maurice Novoa or security guards in general anywhere that I can see in the article. Perhaps there's something I'm missing and others feel differently. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 03:58, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Australian Grand Prix's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I propose merging Australian Grand Prix F3 Support Race into Australian Grand Prix. I don't believe the topic is independtly notably, unfortunately, but it can probably be included in this article with a section about support races. Tartar Torte 14:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
The formula 3 section recently added as a result of the above "discussion" is completely out of place, and has no references apart from one that refers to a separate championship. It should be removed. Also note that the above discussion was closed not based on what was brought up, but instead by the closer's admission based on a vote. A7V2 ( talk) 23:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
