Something I suggested years ago, and IMHO would work, is getting rid of a stretch of Wakefield Road between the new smaller round about and where the race track exits onto Wakefield therefore making it a no through road on one end and removing the 'fifth' road from the round about nightmare on the other end.
Second round about thus becomes redundant and is removed, and the big roundabout is removed as well and replaced with a signalized intersection.
You could retain car parking on that 'removed' stretch of Wakefield Road as well, accessible from the city side.
Rev, this is a solution that I mentioned a while back too and was also touted a few years ago.
I have closed access to White Street from Fullarton Road but it can be easily left open. Let us know if there are any other variations.
Cheers
How about this.

The roundabouts are removed, four way intersection. The road's leading into the parklands/vic park for the race track are maintained.
A new road from Grant Ave/Fullarton T junction is built through the parklands to meet up with Halifax creating a new route.
Beaumont Road is upgraded and opened to the public, with a new road running parallel to East tce that meets up where Wakefield Road is cut off.
To keep the whingers happy, the southern side of the parklands there, which are derelict and used by homeless people and drunk indigenous, could be upgraded/spruced up so the grannies in the area can walk their little fur ball dogs.
That new road between Halifax and Grant Ave would also help alleviate the traffic congestion for the Clipsal 500 build as all the big rigs and b doubles could come in from there off Fullarton, instead of up Wakefield and Halifax. Wouldn't even need to close it for the event either, so it would help with congestion around that time of year, as would Beaumont Road.
