Since 1952

The badge Brabham wore.

From an old wartime airstrip at Mt Druitt to the floodlit straights of Sydney Motorsport Park, the ARDC has spent more than seventy-five years shaping Australian motorsport — with names like Brabham, Moffat and Bond among its Members.

Today, Membership is your golden ticket to the busiest circuit in the country: choose a Car or Bike Membership, as an entry-level Enthusiast, a top-tier Competitor, or the complete Enthusiast Plus — each available for one- or three-year terms.

The track experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything was well-organised, and the energy on race day was unmatched. I'd recommend it to anyone passionate about motorsport.

Being part of the ARDC has completely elevated my love for racing. The access, the events and the community make it truly special — it's more than a venue, it's a complete motorsport experience.

From booking to the actual event, the process was seamless. The facilities, staff and atmosphere exceeded all expectations — one of the best motorsport memberships in the country.
Priya S. Enthusiast + Member ★★★★★

The race entry and Private Practice discounts pay for the membership on their own — and the Club Championship keeps me coming back every single season.
Marcus T. Competitor Member ★★★★★
Member since 2023
Half-price track days and complimentary entry to the big events — the value is unreal for the price of the membership. Best decision I've made as a fan.
