Eastern Creek. Raceway rebranded

Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway has been rebranded as the Sydney Motorsport Park following a $12 million transformation, including the first new race circuits in Australia in a decade, upgraded pit facilities and the near doubling of capacity. The redevelopment is the result of a joint venture between the New South Wales government and the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club, which manages the venue. Sydney Motorsport Park will remain the only motorsport facility in the entire Sydney basin after the closure of Amaroo Park in 1998 and Oran Park in 2010.

Eastern Creek. Approval for extension

The Department of Planning has approved an application by the Australian Racing Drivers Club to construct an extension to the existing race track at Eastern Creek, creating two linked but potentially independent circuits, associated second pit lane and a building incorporating six off pit garages, public amenities and race control room. Estimated cost:$8.1 million

Eastern Creek. Two-part raceway upgrade

Work has begun on the first stage of a two-part redevelopment of Eastern Creek International Raceway. Future development works are scheduled to begin later in 2011. The raceway’s 3.93 km track hosts the V8 Supercars and A1 Grand Prix each year. “Eastern Creek is the only permanent race circuit in Sydney and the only FIA category two-level circuit in Australia. The financial support provided by the NSW state government has meant that we can increase our capacity to better serve the motorsport-hungry Sydney public,” said raceway CEO, Glenn Matthews.
