From the full Grand Prix lap to a floodable skidpan, Sydney Motorsport Park is
engineered to reconfigure — two circuits can race at once, day or night.
The Gardner GP circuit is the spine of everything. Add the 830-metre southern
extension and it becomes Brabham — the longest, hardest lap on the property. Split
it at the link road and it becomes two independent racetracks, Druitt North and
Amaroo South, each with its own pit lane, running at the same time.
Beside the racing line sit a 9,000 m² floodable skidpan, a figure-8 skid
circuit and a 4WD terrain course — so the venue trains drivers as readily as it
crowns champions. Every layout runs anti-clockwise, under permanent LED light.
The same tarmac, four distinct personalities — from
200 km/h commitment to thirteen corners of patience. Know the line before you
get here.

Grand Prix Circuit · est. 1990
The original Grand Prix lap that made Eastern Creek famous — refined in the 2012
redevelopment and renamed for Wayne Gardner, the 1987 World Motorcycle
Champion. It opens with the most committed corner in Australian motorsport: tipping
into Turn 1 at close to 200 km/h.
T1Moffat CornerThe 200 km/h right-hander — nerves of steel required. Named for
Allan Moffat, 2017.
T2Bond BendHard on the anchors out of the fastest part of the lap. Named for
Colin Bond, 2017.
T5Brock's 05Renamed at the 2012 re-opening in tribute to Peter
Brock.
Named in honour of Sir Jack Brabham, the extended circuit grafts 830 metres of
twisting, rising and falling tarmac onto the Grand Prix lap. It branches away after
Turn 7 and rejoins at Turn 14 — eighteen corners over 4.5 km, the
longest configuration on the property.
T8–9The CrestBlind over the top — commitment before the road falls
away.
T11The HairpinDownhill approach into the heaviest braking zone at the
venue.
T12–13The ClimbHard uphill drive to rejoin the Grand Prix loop.
The first product of the redevelopment: a link road joining Turn 4 to
Turn 9 turns the northern half of the property into its own racetrack.
Eight corners, a banked right-hander, a blind crest and sub-minute laps — short,
fast and relentless.
LinkThe CutThe T4 → T9 link road, completed October 2011 — the key that splits
the circuit.
BankThe Banked RightCambered entry that rewards a committed
line.
CrestThe Blind CrestThe road disappears — trust your reference
points.

South Circuit · est. 2012
Thirteen corners in 1.8 kilometres — nowhere to rest, nowhere to hide. Completed in
May 2012 with the venue's second pit lane, the South Circuit carries the name
of the beloved Amaroo Park and is what makes two-circuits-at-once possible.

Track Access
Drive it.
The same tarmac the championships run on is open to you all
year round — bring your own car or bike, or jump in beside a professional.
Any configuration, exclusively yours — and because the circuit
splits in two, your event can run while another does. Racing, testing, filming or
corporate.
A road-registered or race-prepared car in sound condition, a helmet and a
drive-day booking. Sessions are graded by experience, and no competition licence is needed
for track days — instructors are available if it's your first time.
Yes — dedicated ride days run across the Gardner GP and shorter layouts,
with groups graded from first-timers to racers. Full leathers and an approved helmet are
required; gear hire is available on selected dates.
Every configuration runs anti-clockwise — from the 11-turn Gardner GP lap
to the 13-turn Amaroo South club circuit. The skidpan, Figure 8 and 4WD track operate to
their own session formats.
Yes — that's the point of the 2012 redevelopment. The link road splits the
venue into Druitt North and Amaroo South, each with its own pit lane and race control, so
two events can run simultaneously.
Every layout is available for exclusive hire — racing, testing, product
launches, filming and corporate drive days, supported by pit garages, suites and trackside
hospitality. The team will match a configuration to your format.
Permanently. SMSP's LED floodlighting covers the racing surface, making it
one of the few venues in the country to host championship racing after dark — night events
run across racing, ride days and experiences.
