SYDNEY MOTORSPORT PARK CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF
MOTORSPORT ACTION WITH MRC UNDER LIGHTS!

Sydney circuit to hold its first grassroots race under full
permanent lighting on its 30th Anniversary

COUNTING BACK 30 years from November 2020, a motorsport circuit in the heart of Sydney’s industry and

farmland affectionately known as ‘The Creek’ held its first Touring Car motorsport event, the 1990 Nissan

500.

A full grid of Group A Touring Cars lined up on the main straight, heralding the start of an era as well as a

well-fought race for the chequered flag, and Eastern Creek International Raceway seeded its reputation for

high-speed door-to-door battles, and unpredictable racing that saw many a pole position starter finish

outside the podium.

Over 30 years, the Western Sydney circuit has seen its fair share of changes; one of the most significant

being its rebrand as Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP) in 2012 to coincide with a new 830m circuit extension

that allowed the original 3.7km GP Circuit to be split in two, or extended to encompass 4.5km of twisting

track. However, its 30th year has brought the biggest change thus far: the ability to run into the night under

multi-million-dollar stadium LED lighting.

“As we celebrate our 30th year, we are proud to flick the switch on our lighting project and become

Australia’s first permanent motorsport circuit with the ability to operate both day and night,” said Glenn

Matthews, CEO of SMSP’s operator, the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC).

“The NSW Government’s strategic multi-million-dollar investment at SMSP brings with it a new era of

racing; something to celebrate after a tumultuous year of fire, flood and Covid-19.

“And it isn’t just motorsport which will benefit; Sydney Motorsport Park will become a 24/7 home for a

broad spectrum of stakeholders in motorsport, local business and tourism, driver training, on-site

engineering and education, and much more.

“The next 30 years will be bright indeed!”

This weekend’s NSW Motor Race Championship round at SMSP heralds the first night-time grass-roots

racing under the venue’s new permanent lights, providing the perfect celebration of the track’s three past

decades – and the exciting decades to come.

Following the path forged over the past three years by Supercars Championship and Sydney Masterblast ft.

Muscle Car Masters, which ran largely under generator lighting, five categories will contest the MRC under

the full scope of 132 new light towers: the RX-8 Cup, Improved Production, HQ Holdens, Sports Sedans and

Formula Vee.

For only the second time since the global pandemic began, SMSP will also open its gates to the motorsport

enthusiast for weekend door-to-door racing. Like Supercars in July, the Grandstand will be open with

limited seating (adhering to NSW Health Guidelines), see www.ardc.com.au/nsw-motor-racechampionship

for ticket details. As Australia begins to open up again post-Covid, the future is looking all

the brighter at SMSP.

Spectators are back on track!

After a long wait, spectators will finally get the chance to get trackside again at SMSP, just in time for Round 4 of the New South Wales Motor Race Championship - and our 30th Anniversary!

We are excited to offer spectator access at this weekend’s round of the MRC, which includes five categories racing under lights on Saturday night. A limited number of General Admission (GA) Grandstand tickets are available for the northern GRANDSTAND SIDE of Sydney Motorsport Park.

All GA Grandstand ticket holders will have access to the Grandstand, Turn 1 Hill (Family Hill) to Turn 18, and the amenities block and catering sites behind the Grandstand. Sadly, due to continuing Covid-19 restrictions, there will be NO ACCESS to the North Paddock or pits for this event.

The cost of the tickets are $15 a day/$30 for the weekend. Our valued ARDC Members are FREE.

As we have to pre-plan our numbers, we will ask any spectator attending to have pre-booked a ticket and have it on hand at the entry gate.
