Track Overview

Sandown International Raceway, located in the suburb of Springvale, just 25 km southeast of Melbourne’s city center, is a legendary motorsport venue. Known as a power circuit, Sandown boasts “drag strip” front and back straights stretching 899m and 910m respectively, making it a challenge for even the most seasoned drivers.

Originally built as a horse racing facility in the 19th century, Sandown was later redeveloped post-World War II into the iconic motor racing circuit we know today. The track opened in 1962, hosting the first race that would evolve into the famous Sandown 500 by 1964. Since then, Sandown has been a cornerstone of Australian motorsport, hosting its first Australian Touring Car Championship race in 1965.
