MICRO SPEEDWAY TAKES SHAPE FOR SUPERCARS WEEKEND

The second edition of Micros on the Murray is approaching rapidly, with the newly widened track set to explode into action on the weekend of the Supercars Airtouch 500 at The Bend.

The shaping and banking of the track is now underway, under the guidance of Australia’s leading micro track expert Mitch Biner from Powri Racing Australia. With seven metres of additional width to utilise from the 2025 event, the track will measure around 181m on the poleline, with 10m wide straights, 12m corner entry and an 11m apex.

Entries are still open and we’re already seeing excellent representation from New South Wales and Victoria, along with South Australian’s looking to Defend The Bend from visitors.

Classes running are Junior and Senior Microsprints, and all variations of Outlaw Karts. Event times are as follow:-

Friday 11 September
Practice: 1pm – 3:30pm
Racing from 6pm

Saturday 12 September
Racing from 6pm

Entry to Micros on the Murray is FREE with a Supercars ticket, with a 3-day pass starting from $89 or just $15 for children aged 5-15 years. General Admission single day passes are $39 on Friday and $49 on Saturday (kids $9).

Spectator Tickets available here:-

We can’t wait to host you at Australia’s newest speedway venue, with well-appointed pit facilities and excellent trackside viewing. Throw in three days of Supercars action on the main circuit and you have a recipe for a great weekend of motortainment at The Bend.

WHAT. A. DAY.

A few killer frames from a seriously wild weekend at Dragway at The Bend.

Big smoke, big commitment and some properly brutal machines doing exactly what they came here to do.

Thanks to everyone who came out, filled the fence line and brought the atmosphere.

Burnouts at The Bend, you were unreal.

BIG CROWDS. BIG NOISE. BIG SMOKE.

What a day at Dragway at The Bend.

From the first burnout to the final skid, the place was alive: huge crowds, serious machinery and more tyre smoke than we knew what to do with.

A massive thank you to every driver, crew member, trader, supporter and fan who came out and made the event what it was.

Days like this don’t happen without you.

Thanks for bringing the noise, The Bend.
