I'm not sure Adelaide is that likely, as they are unlikely to want to have a night race either.
The next best option might be going to Calder Park then, who have mentioned that they want to do a full upgrade with new lights etc. It may not be anywhere near as good as Albert Park, but at least it would be something.

claims that the benefit is $160 million. It's hard to quantify this, as it also probably has a longer term impact as making Melbourne a more likely tourist spot.
Obviously some people in the press are against the GP. You never hear of how much loss other major events make.
Also, the whole country isn't meant to benefit from it, its not a national event.
