On Sunday night , the weekend was topped off with the Motorsport Legends Dinner at the Top of the Ark in the Arkaba Hotel . We were greeted with champagne , followed by a fabulous 3 course dinner and coffee / tea . Between courses the Master of Ceremonies , Tony Parkinson ( Penny Hill Winery and the late Phil Bradey ’ s mate ), introduced the dignitaries including Tim Possingham from the
SCCSA who was the Director of the AMF and then Tony interviewed the three ex-F1 drivers . It was lovely to hear their fond memories of the Adelaide Grand Prix that ran from 1985 to 1995 here on our city streets . Stefan Johannson talked about being re-united with his car and his specialty range of watches and Ivan Capelli spoke about his commentating role for the current F1 Season on Italian TV .
