Track Info
Eastern Creek Raceway (Sydney Motorsport Park) - Eastern Creek, NSW, Australia
Modern multi-layout permanent circuit - clockwise - legendary Turn 1 commitment, heavy stops at T2 and T6, and a flowing final sector
When was the track built?
Approved in 1989 and opened on November 10, 1990, the then Eastern Creek International Raceway debuted with the 3.93 km GP course. A 2012 redevelopment added the 4.50 km Brabham layout plus north (Druitt) and south (Amaroo) variants, creating four main configurations and expanding event flexibility.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race was the 1990 Nissan Sydney 500 for Group A touring cars on opening day. SMSP then hosted the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix from 1991 to 1996, with wins for Wayne Rainey (1991) and Mick Doohan (1992, 1995) among others.
What's the circuit like?
- T1 commitment: One of Australia’s great bravery corners - top gear turn-in that sets up the heavy stop into T2.
- Stop-and-go meets flow: Big braking at T2 and T6 bookend mid-lap sweepers where platform control and front-end bite decide sector times.
- Brabham loop: The south extension adds T7-T11 crest - downhill - hairpin complexity before rejoining at T12, ideal for endurance and testing.
- Benchmark pace: Outright 1:17.444 (WTAC 2024). Representative racing benchmarks include F3 1:22.629 and modern GT3 1:26.393 on the GP layout.
Lap records and benchmarks (by layout)
- GP 3.93 km - Outright (Time Attack): 1:17.444 - Barton Mawer, Porsche 968 RP968, 2024 WTAC.
- GP 3.93 km - Formula 3 (race lap): 1:22.629 - Nick Foster, 2013.
- GP 3.93 km - GT3 (race lap): 1:26.393 - Jaxon Evans, Ferrari 296 GT3, 2025.
- Brabham 4.50 km - length/notes: 18 turns, adds the south loop for longer races and testing programs.
- Druitt 2.80 km & Amaroo 1.80 km: North and South sprint variants used for club, national and manufacturer days.
Why go?
A fan-friendly complex with grandstands, night racing capability and constant action. WTAC’s record hunts deliver edge-of-the-seat laps, Supercars produce elbows-out battles into T2 and T6, and ASBK shows off top-gear bravery at T1. It’s easy to spend a full weekend here with open paddocks and manufacturer displays.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Turn 1 grandstand: See commitment at corner entry and the draft to T2.
- Turn 2 hairpin: Heaviest braking - classic divebombs and switchbacks.
- Turn 6 / final sector (GP): Traction and rotation decide the launch to the line.
- Brabham loop (T7-T11): Crest - downhill - hairpin sequence perfect for endurance strategy and traffic management.
Not just one series: headline events at SMSP
World Time Attack Challenge: Global time-attack showcase - recent outright laps down to 1:17.444.
Repco Supercars Championship: Night races and sprint formats with big stops into T2/T6.
ASBK & track days: Australia’s superbike elite and year-round manufacturer/club activity keep the circuit buzzing.
Historic notes: Hosted the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix 1991 - 1996 and A1GP in the 2000s.
