The Royal Diary

Sandown, Melbourne

The semi-final of the championship at one of the great old circuits - Sandown's long straights reward bravery and punish hesitation. The title fight tightens here.

ICC Sydney, Darling Harbour

Over a hundred electric cars under one roof at Darling Harbour - the whole silent revolution, in one weekend. Go and sit in everything before you have an opinion about it.

Blacktown Workers Club, Sydney

The November edition of Sydney's second-Sunday institution. Coffee at sunrise, chrome by mid-morning, and every marque made welcome.

Across Tasmania, from Hobart

Five days of closed-road tarmac rallying the length of Tasmania - exotics, classics and giant-killers attacking some of the best driving roads in the world.

Mount Panorama, Bathurst

The Mountain's end-of-year encore: the TCR Australia finale plus S5000 open-wheelers taking on Mount Panorama - V8-powered formula cars on the Mountain for the first time in over fifty years.

Adelaide Street Circuit, SA

The championship decider on the streets of Adelaide - four days, three races, GT World Challenge and a rally festival in support, and a title handed over in front of a heaving city. The season finale done like a grand final should be.

Blacktown Workers Club, Sydney

The last second-Sunday meet of the year - festive, relaxed, and the perfect place to farewell the driving season. Santa hats optional, good manners in the car park mandatory.

Exhibition Park (EPIC), Canberra

Australia's biggest horsepower party - four days of street machines, burnouts, cruising and noise at EPIC. Loud, unapologetic, and gloriously itself.

Mount Panorama, Bathurst

GT3 machinery from every great marque racing the Mountain from dark to dark - and in 2027 it stretches to four days for the first time. The most beautiful grid in Australian motorsport.

Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, VIC

More than 350 historic race cars at full noise beside the ocean - the largest historic motor racing event in the Southern Hemisphere, and from 2027 the anchor of a whole new Festival of Motoring.

Melbourne Showgrounds, Ascot Vale VIC

The indoor show for the truly obsessed - elite builds, mirror paint and engineering as jewellery, celebrating twenty-five years. If a car can be a couture gown, this is the runway.

Across Tasmania, from Hobart

Five days, closed roads, and the whole of Tasmania as the racetrack - the ultimate tarmac rally, and the one every serious driver has on the list.
