It's like Disneyland for car lovers. One of the best facilities in the world. An incredible track with a lot of technical features and elevation. Configuration of several tracks. Such a great experience that I shelled out for a Gold Membership. Never thought I'd get out on track again, but built a car to get that shot of adrenaline again. An excellent restaurant and bar/coffee area with amazing views of the track. Highly accessible pit area to get up close to the teams. Track days are precision run and have all the safety that a full race meet would. It's a safe environment to try out your car off the public roads. Drift track is great and has many layouts. Incredible drag racing area of world quality. Off road course and rally track. Plus proper karts in a dedicated area. It's a dream come true, and luckily just 35 minutes from home. One day it might get me back racing. Thanks to all the staff too. You're what makes it special.

Spent time at The Bend, enjoying The Apex League. Whilst here I went for a Hot Lap with Colin in their 5.0 Mustang. It’s the fastest I have ever been in a car before. Had full and total confidence in my personal safety at speeds up to 220 kmh, under Colin’s control. Highly recommend you get out for a fun ride as an activity for a great day out.

Excellent place for the Car enthusiast, loved all the amazing cars on display, came to watch friends race in the mini race car event, lots of thrills and spills!
The only negative was the service of the Cafe inside, one staff member was very rude to me, he took my order, but when more than 5 other customers after me had their orders, l enquired as to where mine was? the other staff member said it wasn't there, he had deliberately not put it through, food choice was very limited too.

My son and I were booked for a Legends experience for my 50th birthday.
This track and venue is world class, first class and best in class.
Both the experience and accommodation, staff and organisation of the day was spot on. Very welcoming and accommodating, nothing too much trouble.
So much fun, such a credit to the motorsport industry. Well done, well be back soon. So much to do.

Great track and decent hotel, everything was as expected or above. However, surprised that your scrutineering air compressor/ pressure gauge was 15 to 20 psi over. Ruined my second (last) session; for beginners could be quite dangerous. Checked at OTR next door and front was 19 psi hot. Will bring own pump next time.

Had never been here before and didn't know what to expect. On arrival the parking was casual and simple which was excellent then straight In through the gate. Easy access awesome facilities cannot wait for more events. Definitely worth the drive up from Adelaide. Plenty to see and do during the Supersprint.

What an exceptional facility, the level
Of care and detail that has gone in to making this a world class venue for all is incredible. We visited for the first time this past weekend for the V8 Supercars and as a spectator wow what an experience! Unparalleled access to the action, public areas that would rival the most exclusive of zones at other facilities. Every little detail has been considered to make a visit to The Bend one you will never forget. I sincerely hope there are more international events headed there way as they certainly deserve them. We can’t wait to go back next year

Went roll racing there and then stayed in the pit lane rooms. Can't fault any of it. Great staff (except for the grumpy old lady that lets you out onto the track) very luxurious hotel with heaps to see and do. Can't wait for the drag track. Only minor issues is the lack of trees etc but hopefully they will come in time.

2 night stay with the family.
Overall we had a good time and enjoyed the food and the accommodation at Rydges, nothing much to complain about but if was to get picky I’d have to say please put some bottled water in the rooms and also table water on the tables for diners in the Apex restaurant would be great!
Coffee should absolutely be included with breakfast too, which I must say was superb!

You get to walk through pit lane after heats and see the owners/drivers and get an insight into the amount of effort and time that goes into their beast. The merch they sell is actually decent and made with good materials.
A great night out for sure!

Non Alco beer a Rip off @ $11. a bottle. ( Woolworths sell this beer for $9 for a 6 pack) The Burger i was served was a rather dry bun, non toasted, and a Pattie that had obviously been frozen and thrown on the BBQ for a few minutes. Therefore raw and somewhat cold in the centre, a few sliced pickles and a piece of melted cheddar and drowned in aoli All accompanied by re fried crinkle cut over salted chips. The cost $24. The worst and most expensive load of excrement I have ever been served. The so called Chef should hang his/her head in shame, roll up his/her knives and go back to school and take a recourse.
I would not recommend this eatery to anyone, Your local pub would be a better option. Even street food in the outer parts of Vietnam make better food than this high priced low class food eatery!

Another top experience organised by Champion Ride Days in cooperation with The Bend Motorsport Park.
Thirty nine dollars gets you at least 10 laps at your own pace behind a pace bike on your machine of choice with just Helmet, Jacket, Jeans and boots as a minimum to experience this magnificent venue.
After the session of approximately 20 minutes you are treated to a Breakfast Buffet in the Apex Restaurant and then have the opportunity if you wish to register and take part in the remainder full on track day.
This is the sixth event I have done and it's more than enough for me to get my jollies
off the only downside is the trip home back to Adelaide on the Freeway seems so tame.
Highly recommended, the Bend is a top facility with friendly and accommodating staff, nothing seems too much trouble and the Team from Champions Ride day go about their operation in a safe, competent manor to maximum the enjoyment of all participants can't wait for the next one, if you are in Adelaide on your bike highly recommend you check out the next one.

Fantastic track, great facilities, very modern, great experience to go to the track and watch motorcycle racing. Car parking was ok but could be improved by more guided directions. But overall we parked in the grass paddock and walked to the track which was fine. Highly recommend you going to watch any motorsport that you like to watch.

Wow, my favourite new place. Four circuits, motocross tracks, rally etc. Very very nice layout and so modern.
The hotel there, Ridges, looked great so will stay there soon.
The reception for the track was manned by a blonde girl who was a subject matter expert on the place. She even had a glint in her eye when describing the circuit where you could see her passion.
I want to do a bike track day there as a result. Need my ankle fixed and ship my tracking down here to get the Bend E experience.
The OTR owner who set this place up is a genius.
Be sure to check the cars out in the lobby.

Didn't know what to expect arriving at The Bend Motor Sports Park but quickly got a full understanding once turning off the A8 Dukes Highway in this massive facility. It is a Motor Sports Park Heaven from Circuit Racing, Hot Laps, Difting, Go Karting, V8 Supercars, Restaurant, Bar, Hotel, Big 4 Caravan Park and soon to be Drag Strip to name a few things about this Motor Oasis. Looking forward to see what the future brings as sky is the limit at this venue.

Gave our 15y/old son the Hot Laps experience. Needless to say he loved it ????
It was over too quickly, but highly recommended if you know a petrol head, or anyone who enjoys a drive. Options are available for you to drive the car yourself.....maybe next time.
A very cool display of some very expensive cars...

No matter what your budget I. Sure you can enjoy something here.
We had food and it was sensational. Some Veggie options and some healthy option were great to see.
Don’t forget to take the Lift to the top floor for the viewing platform.
