Gold Coast 500 2021

Surfers Paradise Street Circuit

First appearing on the Australian motorsport calendar in 1991, the street circuit located on the Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise, is a high speed, concrete-lined, thrill ride that was shortened for the new look event in 2010.

The temporary street circuit has created carnage in the past, particularly when drivers don’t show the patience that is required to come out unscathed. The race is 300km long on a circuit that’s 2.96km in length. Drivers complete 102 laps. The short track allows for better spectating, providing fans with great entertainment value. For 2021 the race will be 250km long.

• The Gold Coast 500 takes place on the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit with temporary safety barriers. Due to this, we recommend upgrading to a grandstand ticket or hospitality package to ensure you get the best track views
• If you’re planning a special occasion or treating colleagues, you can’t go past a hospitality package. These give you access to an exclusive venue with gourmet food, premium drinks, entertainment, programs, TVs, indoor and outdoor seating and more. Inclusions vary per package
• If you’re after an extra special weekend, try our track view rooms at the JW Marriott. While not the best place to watch the race from, being close to the track and seeing cars from above gives a unique perspective and will ensure you feel part of the action
