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. Both races are 250km on a circuit that’s 2.96km in length. Drivers complete 85 laps per race. The short track allows for better spectating, providing fans with great entertainment value.

• The Gold Coast 500 takes place on the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit with temporary safety barriers. Due to this we recommend upgrading to a Fanstand ticket, grandstand ticket or hospitality package to ensure you get the best track views over the barriers.
• If you’re planning a special occasion or treating colleagues, you can’t go past a hospitality suite. 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 suite and package.
• If you’re after an extra special weekend, try our track view rooms at the JW Marriott resort. 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.
• All packages include a Pit Lane Walk at a scheduled time over the weekend to see the inner workings of the pits, team garages and more. This is a great extra to enhance your race experience.
