The Benetton B190 Ford that won the 1990 Australian Grand Prix returns to Adelaide 35 years later at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival on March 8 and 9.
The Benetton B190 was featured at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival in 2024, and following lots of requests for that car to return again it will be back in 2025 alongside many other Formula 1 cars from different ages, including some that have never been seen here before.
