About Raleigh International Raceway
Raleigh International Raceway is a long-established motorsport complex in the village of Raleigh, around 15 minutes south of Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid-North Coast. Operating since 1983, it has grown from its early days into a multi-discipline venue that today hosts drift, rallycross, rallysprint and burnout events, drawing both competitors and spectators from across the country. It is primarily a race-meeting and event venue rather than an arrive-and-drive experience — crowds come to watch the action (entry fees apply), while drivers enter as competitors at scheduled meetings. With on-site competitor camping, hot showers and workshop access, it functions as a genuine grassroots motorsport hub and a relaxed, affordable day out for motorsport-loving families in the region.
