Other than Prost who chose not to take part, World Championship winning drivers who were still alive but not in the photo shoot due to not being in attendance in Adelaide were Phil Hill (), John Surtees (), Emerson Fittipaldi ( & ), Niki Lauda (, & ), Mario Andretti (), Jody Scheckter (), and the winner of the inaugural race in Adelaide Keke Rosberg (). The most surprising absentee was Australia's 1980 World Champion Alan Jones who was actually at the circuit that weekend racing a Ford Sierra RS500 in the Group A touring car support races as well as performing duties as a pit reporter for Australian host television broadcaster Channel 9.
