Shifting Ayrton Senna plaque a sign of things to come for Adelaide's MotoGP
- A plaque installed after F1 driver Ayrton Senna died in 1994 is among a swag of changes to Adelaide's famed street circuit for the MotoGP next year, but an industry stalwart says it represents "transition" rather than the end of an era.
- The government wants to return parts of the circuit to its original F1 layout, including the 900-metre Brabham Straight along Dequetteville Terrace, but is also proposing to shift Senna Chicane further into Victoria Park and dump popular Supercar components.
- This includes the "staircase" and its challenging succession of 90-degree turns along the CBD's east edge.
