Unlike traditional drag racing held at a single venue, this event requires participants to drive their cars over a significant road loop between multiple tracks, proving that these machines are as capable on the highway as they are on the drag strip. It is a test of mechanical endurance, reliability, and driver skill, where entrants must complete the entire route and race at each stop to remain in contention.

The event features various classes, allowing for competition across different performance levels and vehicle types. Spectators have the opportunity to witness the unique spectacle of high-performance cars navigating public roads before lining up for competition at the track. Originating in 2014, the event has grown from a small gathering of enthusiasts into a major annual fixture on the Australian motorsport calendar. It is widely regarded as one of the most demanding challenges for street-registered vehicles in the country, offering a rare look at the intersection of long-distance touring and competitive drag racing. ## Attractions Drag racing competition Vehicle display Road tour Class-based racing ## Good to Know This is a drag-and-drive event, meaning the competition moves between different race tracks over several days.

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. ## Getting There The Bend sits on the Dukes Highway at Tailem Bend, roughly an hour's drive from Adelaide along the South Eastern Freeway. For interstate visitors, it's accessible from both the Mallee and Dukes Highways for those travelling from Melbourne or Sydney.
