Sydney Motor Sport Park

about
the park

Sydney Motorsport Park is a motorsport megaplex licensed for motorcycle and car racing. The racing precinct is also Sydney's driver safety and training hub.

Motorsport

The purpose-built motorsport facility features four race circuit configurations to suit a number of motorsport activities; the Brabham Circuit, Grand Prix Circuit, GP North and GP South.

Fifty garages line pit lane, offering easy access for transporters and a secure base for cars, bikes, equipment and personnel. The support paddock has a bitumen surface, a dummy grid for fifty cars, eighteen carports and a scrutineering building.

Driver Safety and Training

Sydney Motorsport Park is also Sydney's main hub for driver safety, education and vehicle testing. To accommodate these activities the venue features Sydney's largest purpose-build, floodable Skidpan, and a separate Figure 8.

Corporate Hospitality

Corporate events can be catered for in world-class facilities.

VIP suites are the most comfortable way to get up close to the action. Located above the competitor's garages, the air-conditioned suites overlook the start/finish line, main straight and pit lane. They feature circuit TV, computerised lap scoring screens and can be fully catered.

There is also a fully-catered café and hospitality clubhouse, situated directly above the existing pit lane. The ARDC Garage café provides a casual, relaxed place to share stories over a drink, or meal.

As a Spectator

As Sydney Motorsport Park operates all year round, the weather conditions can vary dramatically depending on the season.

In summer, the temperature can reach over 40 degrees, so it is essential to ensure you have adequate sun protection by following the Cancer Council's regime of slip, slop, slap, seek and slide.

In winter, temperatures can drop to near zero, so don adequate warm clothing.

Food can be purchased from on track vendors, including 'The Garage', Sydney Motorsport Park's onsite café and bar.
