Twenty years ago, the last iteration of the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide concluded the 1995 Formula One season. Pole-sitter Damon Hill won the race at a canter, while title winner Michael Schumacher retired after a collision with Jean Alesi.
However, the most remarkable fact from the event was that the whole weekend welcomed 520,000 fans. It is an all-time F1 attendance record which, despite the sport’s peak popularity ratings currently, still stands to this day as the only race to attract half a million spectators.
