  • The 1984 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula Mondial race held at Calder Park Raceway on November 18, 1984. It was the forty ninth Australian Grand Prix and the fourth to be held at Calder specifically for Formula Pacific racecars. It was the last domestic Australian Grand Prix to be held prior to the arrival of the Formula One World Drivers' Championship the following year. The race was contested over a distance of 161.0 km (100 laps x 1.61 km). The race was won by Brazilian racer Roberto Moreno, his third win in four years, securing his dominance of the four years the Grand Prix was held for the Formula Mondial/Pacific category. While Mondial would continue as the premier Australian open-wheel racing category for another two years, and would not be completely replaced until the rise of Formula Holden in 1989, this was the last year the category would be associated with the Grand Prix. In many ways Australian domestic open-wheel would be robbed of a signature race by the arrival of Formula One, something which is only now being address by the Tasmanian Formula 3 Super Prix. The trend of the race organiser Bob Jane of importing overseas star races continued, in addition to Moreno the starters included newly crowned world champion Niki Lauda, 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg and both Ligier F1 drivers Andrea de Cesaris and François Hesnault. De Cesaris started from an unguarded pit lane ahead of the field and led the race briefly, although official lap scoring started his race when he started his second lap. Front row qualifier John Bowe led the race early until over taken by Moreno. Poor starts by Lauda, Rosberg and de Cesaris were overcome as the race progressed. Hesnault retired after a clash with Bruce Connolly. Lauda and Rosberg diced briefly for third before Lauda collided with Terry Ryan. Bowe dropped down the field with electrical problems. First Rosberg, then de Cesaris hunted down and overtook Alfredo Costanzo to fill the podium positions. Bowe finished sixth behind David McMillan.
