The Gold Coast 500 (traditionally a 600) is one of Queensland’s biggest events. The race takes over the streets and beaches of Surfers Paradise on the sunny Gold Coast each October (December in 2021). It’s only on the Gold Coast where fans can combine a passion for high-octane Supercars with long sandy beaches, blue waters and non-stop entertainment.

The street circuit winds through the busy Gold Coast skyline with tight corners, a bumpy surface and beachside chicanes demanding the most from drivers. Enjoy the many attractions of the Gold Coast by day before watching the Supercars hit the streets and party into the night. The Gold Coast 500 is renowned for post-race concerts with major international and local acts taking to the trackside stages. Such artists in past years have been the Hilltop Hoods, Lil Jon, The Thundamentals, Cold Chisel, The Living End and many more.
For many years, as an Official Partner of Supercars, we’ve been helping fans travel from around Australia and New Zealand to the Gold Coast to watch the action live. Our Official Gold Coast 500 Packages include official tickets, grandstand upgrades, hospitality packages and hand-selected hotels with other optional travel services including flights, transport, sightseeing and more available. To really treat yourself for your race weekend choose an elevated grandstand or premium hospitality package, the latter offering fantastic track views, gourmet food, drinks and hosted service. Many of the grandstand seating options have beach and ocean backdrops, making for a scenic viewing experience.
