Hello everybody, I made this thread to inventory all non-championship F1 races (I will update this first post gradually). Are eligible: national F1 races, others races where F1 are officially allowed.
Please mention the race's name, track (if it's needed), years and country.
Thank you for your help

The 1980 Australian Grand Prix held at Calder Park, Victoria, 16 November, wasn't exclusively for F1 cars but, then current F1 World Champion, Alan Jones, had a Williams FW07 at his disposal.
Bruno Giacomelli also had an Alfa Romeo 179.
They were the only FIA Formula One cars in the race with the rest of the field up by various Formula 5000 and two Formula Pacific runners.

Pole Position fell to Jones at 36.1 from Giacomelli on 36.3.
The first F5000 was Alfredo Costanzo in a Lola T430 37.9 and the first Pacific runner was John Smith aboard a Ralt-Ford RT1 on 41.4.

Jones won the 95 lap/95 mile race by a full lap from Giacomelli with Didier Pironi finishing 3rd driving an Australian built, ground effects F5000 Elfin-Chevrolet MR9 4 laps off the pace.

Both Formula Pacifics retired but they would become the only car eligible for 1981-1984 before the race moved to Adelaide and became a round of the World Driver's Championship.
 
Yes, I've made some research and found that this race was held at Helsinki

I've also found the Tunis GP in 1955

And I delete most part of my first post because it's too long.

So, about the Eläintarhanajot was won in 1952 by Roger Laurent (BEL) on his Talbot-Lago and in 1953 by Rodney Nuckey on his Cooper
