Surfers Paradise Street Circuit

The Surfers Paradise Street Circuit runs through the heart of Surfers Paradise, the Gold Coast's most famous holiday hub. A genuinely iconic motorsport location, it's the temporary street circuit that hosts the famous Gold Coast 500 (the V8 Supercars street race) — a thrilling, high-energy event that transforms the Surfers streets into a roaring racetrack each year, the kind of bucket-list experience for motorsport fans.

The appeal is that combination of high-octane motorsport and a buzzing, festival atmosphere: during the Gold Coast 500, the circuit comes alive with racing, entertainment and crowds, making for an exhilarating event right in the heart of Surfers. Outside event time, the circuit is simply the public streets of Surfers Paradise, but its reputation as a racing venue is a genuine drawcard for fans.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 280 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot for motorsport fans. The Gold Coast 500 runs on set dates each year, and event dates, ticketing, schedules and access vary entirely with the racing calendar, so it's worth checking the current event details and booking ahead before you go — particularly for the race weekend — then enjoying the action at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit.
