4Frequently Asked Questions

  • Best fit if you enjoy championship competition: world's largest time attack festival draws international teams from USA, Japan, Europe competing for fastest single lap, outright track records broken annually since 2010.
  • Best fit if you value hands-on track experiences: two-day format includes Garrett International Drifting Cup, Turbosmart Flying 500 top speed runs, participant driving opportunities beyond spectator viewing at 3.9km Sydney Motorsport Park GP circuit.
  • Best fit if you like festival environments: 28,000+ attendees (60% under 35), StylizeD Show 'n' Shine, vendor expos, comprehensive automotive enthusiast gathering atmosphere spans high-performance tuning culture, free admission for kids under 12.
  • Not ideal if you prefer traditional wheel-to-wheel racing: time attack format sends cars individually against the clock rather than pack racing, focuses on single fastest lap pursuit over multi-car battles, different competitive dynamic than circuit racing.
