From road racing and the speedway to high-powered dragsters and the FORMULA 1 ROLEX AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2023, Melbourne has plenty to offer the petrol-obsessed motorhead.

Formula 1®

Time your trip to be in the city, as it comes alive to the roar of engines. For 2023, the four-day event takes place from 30 March to 2 April. Be there when the racing teams descend on Melbourne for the Formula 1®, the first event of the season, and join over 400,000 eager fans at the Albert Park Lake course, just minutes from the city.

Around the city

Throughout the year road racing, drag racing and speedway can be seen at local raceways including Calder Park, Avalon Raceway and Sandown International Motor Raceway.
