About Carina International Speedway

Carina International Speedway is a 0.46 km dirt oval situated at Alloway, approximately 12 kilometres south of Bundaberg in Queensland's Wide Bay region. Originally opened on 16 June 1966 by the Bundaberg Speedway Association, the circuit has a rich history that includes hosting the 1975 Australian Formula 500 Speedcar Championship and a 1977 Speedway World Championship qualifying round. After a closure in 2006 and a revival in 2015, racing returned in earnest in 2022 under the current Autobarn naming rights sponsorship. Today the venue runs a strong mix of racing divisions — Super Sedans, Modified Sedans, Production Sedans, Junior Sedans, Compact Speedcars and Surfers Paradise Sedans — delivering entertaining, accessible speedway for the whole Wide Bay region. A much-praised feature is pit access between races, letting spectators get up close to drivers and machinery for a genuinely immersive experience.
