1984 XLIX Australian Grand Prix (Non-Championship)

The event used Formula Mondial rules and machinery with the regulations created in 1983 to replace both Formula Atlantic and Pacific. Formula Mondial failed to attract support outside of Australia and New Zealand and was abandoned internationally at the end of 1984.

 

This was the forty-ninth Australian Grand Prix and the last held prior to it becoming a permanent round of the F1 World Championship in 1985. Although only a national event, the grid was able to boast other established F1 drivers including Niki Lauda, Roberto Moreno and Andrea de Cesaris.
