Not every partnership starts with a media budget. The
Partner Benefits program trades real value with the ARDC member base — the
way Accor Stadium exchanges reciprocal entry with the club. The process is
simple: you provide a meaningful member offer, the ARDC packages it by
category, claim method and expiry, promotes it through the website, member
communications and event touchpoints, then reviews usage and renewal together.

Step 02 · Strategy
Match assets to objectives
The team maps your goals against the inventory — events, screens, hospitality, programs, member channels — and drafts the commercial fit, not a rate card.

Step 03 · Activation
Package, contract, launch
The partnership is packaged clearly — category, assets, exclusivity, term — contracted, and launched with the venue's own channels amplifying the announcement.

Step 04 · Delivery
In market, on track
Your brand goes live across race days, screens, hospitality and content — with one commercial desk coordinating every touchpoint through the season.

Step 05 · Measurement
Report what worked
Enquiries, usage signals, attendance and exposure are reviewed together — honest reporting from a not-for-profit partner with no reason to gild the numbers.

Step 06 · Growth
Renew, expand, compound

Venue
World-class facilities and flexible spaces — 92 hectares, four
circuits, suites, paddocks and a skidpan, one gated precinct.
Integration
Digital and physical assets working together — screens, signage,
hospitality, content and member channels in one program.
Flexibility
Partnerships tailored to the right commercial fit — from a member
offer to naming rights, scoped with you, not sold at you.

motorsport precinct vision — institutional confidence, on the record.
Not-for-profit
Every partnership dollar is reinvested into the venue and grassroots
motorsport — your spend builds the platform your brand stands on.

The commercial platform at a glance — audience and
reach, the advertising estate, six partnership pathways and the process from first
call to renewal, with the numbers your procurement team will ask for.
Prefer a human? +61 2 9672 1000 — the commercial team walks the venue with you,
weekdays 8:30–17:00.
Good to know
Frequently asked.
Six pathways: event sponsorship and naming rights, trackside and
digital advertising, technology and platform partnerships, hospitality and
corporate experiences, innovation and education partnerships through AMIP, and
reciprocal member-offer partnerships. Most partners combine two or three — the
commercial team scopes the mix to your objectives.
There's no public rate card, deliberately — every partnership is
priced on the assets, term and exclusivity in scope. Entry points range from a
member-offer value exchange with no cash component to multi-year naming rights and
platform investments. Bring a budget shape and the team will show you what it
buys.
Yes — category exclusivity is a standard component of event
sponsorships and platform partnerships, protected in the agreement. One partner
per industry per property is the working rule.
The Australian Racing Drivers' Club — the not-for-profit club,
founded 1952, that operates Sydney Motorsport Park on behalf of the NSW
Government. You contract with the club; your brand lives at the venue. Every
surplus dollar is reinvested into the facility and grassroots motorsport.
Send the enquiry form with your objectives and rough budget shape,
or call +61 2 9672 1000. The commercial desk replies within one business day,
usually proposing a venue walk — the platform sells itself better in person.
As long as they should. Single-event sponsorships run a weekend;
advertising typically books by season; platform partnerships are written in years —
PMY Group committed to ten. Renewal reviews happen annually against usage and
results.
Early. Major-event naming rights and season hospitality are scoped
months before the calendar locks, and the best screen inventory books around the
majors. A first conversation two quarters out keeps every option open.
The LED estate: a 45 m² welcome screen at the gate, four
12 m² double-sided cantilever boards around the circuit and 144 m of
pit-straight LED, operated with PMY Group — plus physical signage positions quoted
case by case. It runs across 600+ event days a year, day and night.
Yes — single-event packages are common: screens, signage,
hospitality and activation space wrapped around one race weekend. It's also the
most popular way to trial the platform before a season commitment.
Content capture and campaign amplification are core partnership
components — the venue hosts brand shoots, launches and productions across 92
hectares, with a media centre on site. Standalone filming runs through venue hire;
partners fold it into their program.
Four steps: you provide a meaningful member offer — an experience,
discount or access benefit; the ARDC packages it clearly by category, claim method
and expiry; the offer is promoted through the website, member communications and
event touchpoints; and the commercial team reviews enquiries, usage signals and
renewal potential with you.
Club-to-club value exchange — the way ARDC members receive a
complimentary Members' Reserve entry option at Accor Stadium, and approved partner
clubs' members can access ARDC benefits in return. It's cross-promotion, member
offers, content support and value exchange rather than a cash sponsorship.
