SPECTATOR ADVICE – COVID-19 VIRUS

UPDATED JANUARY 2021:
We love motorsport here at the ARDC and Sydney Motorsport Park, and to ensure we can keep our sport at full speed in the midst of COVID-19, we are asking all visitors to the park, including staff, competitors and promoters, to follow the latest information and advice from NSW Health and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Most daily experiences at SMSP have under 500 people in attendance, and we sit on 90-odd hectares, so low risk events and experiences are currently going ahead with all current NSW Health safety and hygiene practices in play.
Any events near to or over 500 attendees are currently restricted in numbers depending on the areas and gates in use. Please check the CALENDAR for all up to date information on individual event restrictions.
We will review the situation on a week to week basis. 

Be safe, stay well – ARDC Team, SMSP

VENUE

Our first priority, whether you are racing, riding or spectating at SMSP, is the safety and well-being of all persons on our venue.

We are following guidelines from NSW Health in regards to crowds and events, and we are monitoring their recommendations as the situation changes rapidly.

We will communicate updates via our socials and website as news comes to hand.

ACTIVITIES

We will be working with promoters and clients now to determine the suitability of their upcoming events.

We will provide updates via our website and social media channels as the situation develops.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

You can help us and help others by following these basic preventative measures:

  • Stay home and not attend if you are feeling unwell
  • Stay home and not attend if you have been to a country considered at higher risk of covid-19 (excluding airport transit) in the past 14 days
  • Practice simple hygiene by:
    Making sure to clean your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand rub
    Covering your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or a flexed elbow.

CANCELLATIONS / POSTPONING EVENTS

Should events be cancelled / postponed as directed by NSW Health or Promoters, we will communicate updates via social media and our website.

YOUR RISK

This virus doesn’t affect us all equally. Those with pre-existing medical conditions (heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, lung issues) are at a higher particular risk. We suggest you take extra precautions and even recommend avoiding gatherings and crowds as much as possible.

UPDATES

Latest updates are provided by NSW Health, please follow the links below
FAQs: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/coronavirus.aspx
Latest: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/covid-19-latest.aspx
We will communicate updates via our socials and websites www.sydneymotorsportpark.com.au, http://shop.smsp.com.au and www.ardc.com.au.

This is a highly dynamic situation, and all of us will have to adapt and adjust as appropriate.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation in the coming days and weeks as we tackle these challenges together.

Thank you,

The ARDC Team @SMSP.
