About Cairns International Speedway

It is primarily a spectator venue — you come to watch rather than drive — with Sprintcars, Super Sedans, Wingless Sprints, Modified Production Sedans, Formula 500s and Junior Sedans on the program through the season, plus burnout competitions and car shows that keep the local community engaged. A VIP pit access option lets keen fans get up close to the machinery, and the family-friendly atmosphere makes it an easy introduction to live speedway for newcomers.
