Walk the pit lane, stand on the start-finish straight, and explore the home of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix with an expert guide at one of the world's great racing venues. A must for motorsport devotees.

What to expect

A knowledgeable guide leads you through the paddock and pit lane, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of the circuit's history since 1928 and the legendary MotoGP and Superbike battles fought here. You walk the start-finish straight and stand at the famous Southern Loop, gazing out over the Bass Strait that makes this one of the world's most visually dramatic racing venues. The on-site circuit museum adds rich historical context with racing memorabilia, championship bikes, and archive footage.
