About FNQ Motorsports Rally Sport Park

FNQ Motorsports Rally Sport Park sits on Springs Road about 10 minutes west of Mareeba in Far North Queensland, and is the primary off-road competition venue for the CAMS-affiliated FNQ Motorsports Car & Rally Club. The club has developed a series of varied dirt tracks through open fields and timbered forest, and runs khanacross (short-course dirt rally) and motorkhana events roughly once a month. It is a genuinely family-oriented club: the events welcome first-time competitors right through to experienced rally drivers, and junior motorkhana and khanacross events are available for drivers aged 12 and over. The club also runs bitumen sprint events at Tepon Raceway near Herberton, giving members two distinct motorsport disciplines to enjoy across the region.
