CLIPSAL 500 ADELAIDE

Full-blooded V8 action hits the city streets, as Adelaide combines Australia’s largest motor sport festival with four nights of concerts, spectacular air displays and non-stop on-track action. This is the race Murray Walker called the greatest touring car event in the world, and we’re not about to argue with the expert.

OAKBANK EASTER RACING CARNIVAL
22-24 March
There’s a simple reason why this country racing carnival is the biggest of its type in the world: it’s so much fun. Every year on Easter Monday, thousands of locals and visitors pack their cars with picnics and make the pilgrimage to Oakbank, in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. Get there early and enjoy a champagne breakfast, then spend the day watching the races, indulging your childish side at the sideshows and on the rides, wining, dining and generally enjoying yourself with your friends.
