Oran Park Raceway is 43 years old, and has an extremely interesting past. Oran Park was started by the Singer Car Club in 1962. The Circuit played host to the Australian Touring Car Championship and other events of national significance.



The circuit then was only the current South Circuit with the now famous Bridge and Figure 8 North Circuit added to create the Grand Prix Circuit in the early 1970’s. It was at this time Oran Park hosted the Australian Grand Prix, and hosted lucrative Sports Sedan events each year known as the Toby Lee Trophy.



In the 1980’s Oran Park hosted the Grand Final round of the then Shell Australian Touring Car Championship, the biggest series in Australian motorsport at the time.



Through the 1990’s and the present day Oran Park is still Sydney’s favourite circuit, drawing crowds to the V8 Supercars in ever increasing numbers. It was during the 1990’s that Oran Park Raceway was the home of Super Truck racing, which is still popular today.



Today Oran Park Raceway maintains its reputation as an innovative facility, leading the way with brand new events and types of motorsport. Currently the exciting Super Motard and Drifting events are at the leading edge of Australian Motorsport.
