About Avalon Raceway

Avalon Raceway bills itself as "The Place for Pace" and backs the claim up with thrilling motorsport action on weekends throughout the season. Located at Lara in the Melbourne–Geelong corridor — just off the Princes Freeway — the venue is easily reached from both cities and has built a loyal following across the region. The track hosts five main racing categories: Speedway (sprint cars, wingless sprints, speedcars, street stocks and modified sedans), Burnouts, Quarter Midgets (junior racing), Karting, and RC Racing. Championship events, invitational races and special events — including the Sprintcar Jackpot Invitational, Formula 500 Australian Championship and Burnout Spectaculars — are spread throughout the season. Gates are open to spectators, who can buy tickets through the venue's ticketing platform, and the close-up viewing of sprint cars at full noise is an experience in its own right.
