Established in 1961 by the Benalla Auto Club, the venue grew from humble club roots into a nationally significant arena. The track is famous for its technical, tight layout that creates close racing and plenty of 'action,' a reputation famously summed up by legend Dick Johnson as being like 'running a marathon around your clothes-line.' The venue features two distinct configurations: the original 2.03-kilometre Club Circuit and the 3.0-kilometre National Circuit, the latter of which was opened in 1997 to accommodate larger national events. Winton holds a unique place in history as the site of Formula One legend James Hunt's final race victory in 1978. Its spectator-friendly design allows fans to view almost the entire circuit from various vantage points, fostering an intimate and high-energy atmosphere that is hard to replicate at larger, more spread-out venues. Today, Winton remains one of Australia's busiest circuits, hosting a diverse calendar that ranges from the Supercars Championship and Australian Superbike Championship to grassroots drifting and the world-renowned Historic Winton. Beyond racing, it serves as a critical testing hub for professional teams and a popular destination for track days and driver training. Its combination of historic charm and modern competition makes it a cornerstone of the Australian motorsport landscape. ## Getting There Winton Motor Raceway is located approximately 200 kilometres northeast of Melbourne, about a two-hour drive along the Hume Highway. Visitors coming from the north will find it roughly one hour from Albury. The circuit is easily accessible via the Winton/Glenrowan exit from the highway, followed by a short drive from the nearby town of Benalla. On-site facilities are well-equipped for fans, featuring the Full Throttle Café for catering and ample grassed parking areas. For those looking to stay overnight, the venue offers basic on-site camping for a fee, allowing enthusiasts to stay close to the track. Note that there is no ATM on-site, so visitors should carry cash or use facilities in Benalla or Glenrowan before arriving.
