Roll Racing Adelaide
About this Event
Roll Racing is the latest form of car event to hit Australia, catering for the recreational motorsport customer who likes to drive their car fast and have fun in a safe and controlled environment without the fear of being prosecuted for illegal activities on the street. Events are run in time frames that suit the modern lifestyle, 4 to 6 hour events with a focus on entertainment and a bang for buck experience. The concept is that you race another vehicle from a rolling start of around 40klms/hr. Once the lights turn from amber to green you race along the straight to the finish line about 250mtrs away to see who has the quickest car. Then you can return to the marshalling area and race someone else and keep going all night. The secret to Roll Racing is not to have the most Horsepower, biggest tyre or fattest wallet (although all those things help). It’s to have a well set up car that can get the power to the ground and use it correctly. At our events around the country some of the quickest cars there have been 400hp Corolla’s, 500hp Rotories and Nissan GTRs which were all extremely well set up street cars that they drive to Roll Racing and drive home, true street cars! Roll Racing is open to all types of vehicles from domestics, imports and exotic cars all battling it out under lights to see who really has a fast car. The track opens at 6.30pm and we run an open track where you can keep coming back and lining up with someone else to have another run. Towards the end of the night (approximately 9.30pm) we will run an eliminator to see which car is the fastest on the night, we then invite the 2 cars from the final back for the next event where they will receive a FREE VIP entry. Where possible they will be given the 1st and 2nd garages so everyone knows they are the ones to beat. All spectators over 18 are able to participate in the event by riding as a passenger during races.

About Shell V-Power Motorsport Park
One of the World's Great Motorsport Venues, Right in South Australia's Backyard The Bend Motorsport Park is one of the most remarkable motorsport facilities on the planet — and it happens to be in regional South Australia. Stretching 7.77 km in its full GT Circuit configuration, it's the second-longest permanent racing circuit in the world, behind only the Nürburgring Nordschleife — a stat that still doesn't fully land until you're standing at pit lane looking down the straight. It's Australia's only circuit to comply with the latest FIA Grade 2 and FIM Category A standards simultaneously, which means it sits in genuine elite company globally, capable of hosting any series, any category, any time. Circuit Configurations One of the things that makes The Bend genuinely unique is its flexibility. The challenging 7.77 km GT Circuit is suited to endurance racing and drive experiences, while the 4.95 km International Circuit forms the backbone for major national events including Supercars, Superbikes, and national series racing. The 3.41 km West Circuit handles the bulk of club days, testing, and driver training, and the 3.93 km East Circuit can be run independently. More Than a Race Track The Bend is unique in having every motorsport discipline through the one gate — circuit racing for cars and motorcycles, an international Group 1 Dragway, Australia's only purpose-built drift circuit, a karting circuit, a rallycross circuit, driver training facilities, a 4WD adventure park, and a rally/off-road facility. For spectators and visitors, the on-site experience is just as well considered. The Welcome Centre features an automotive gallery and the Apex Bar x Dining overlooking pit lane, while accommodation options range from the 100-room Rydges Pit Lane Hotel to the BIG4 Holiday Park with camping and cabins.
