About This Event
Powerplay is the one day version of Powercruise, where street machine owners drive their own cars on the circuit at Sydney Motorsport Park to cruise, skid, drift and race. It is an alcohol free day, with spectators watching from the general admission areas around the track.
1What to Expect
Powerplay #58 runs on Saturday 30 October 2027 at Sydney Motorsport Park.
Powerplay is the one day version of Powercruise: entrants take their own street machines onto the circuit to cruise, skid, drift and race.
The day runs cruise sessions between the Powerskid competition, off street drags, the Half Hour of Power and the burnout competition.

Children can view from pit wall with hearing protection (no prams on pit wall).

Getting thereDriving, Public transport, Rideshare and taxis, Best value route
Driving
- Sydney Motorsport Park is on Ferrers Road, Eastern Creek, about 40 km from the Sydney CBD and roughly an hour by car via the M4 or M7 to the Wallgrove Road exit, then Chandos Road and Ferrers Road.
- Parking inside the raceway was free at Powerplay in 2026, weather permitting, and there is no street parking around the venue.
Public transport
- Blacktown Station is the closest station, and the venue recommends a taxi or rideshare from there.
- Buses from Blacktown to the Harrington Drive area are irregular and leave a long walk.
Rideshare and taxis
- No Powerplay rideshare drop off point is published for 2027.
Best value route
- Driving and using the free parking inside the raceway.
- The train only reaches Blacktown, so the last leg is a taxi or rideshare either way.
