About Shell V-Power Motorsport Park at The Bend

Shell V-Power Motorsport Park at The Bend in Tailem Bend is South Australia's premier motorsport venue — a world-class circuit complex about an hour south-east of Adelaide. Built across multiple configurations, the track can run as the 4.95 km International Circuit or stretch to the 7.77 km GT Circuit with its 35 corners, one of the longest permanent racetracks in the country. It is a working race venue that hosts a Supercars Championship round and national meetings, but the public can get on track too: The Bend runs driver experiences in high-performance track and race cars, hot laps alongside professional drivers, plus open track days and performance test days for those bringing their own car. The precinct also takes in a 1.1 km outdoor karting circuit, an on-site dragway, a 4WD adventure park, defensive-driver and rider training, and the Rydges Pit Lane Hotel overlooking the main straight.
