Welcome

Welcome to the all-new Motorsports NT website.

Motorsport is the Territory’s #1 spectator sport, which also has a vibrant and enduring history of grassroots participation stretching back more than 75 years.

The four major motorsport events (Supercars and MXGP in Darwin, Finke Desert Race and Red Centre Nats in Alice Springs), bring in more than $53 million of economic activity on their own.

In Darwin, the Hidden Valley Raceway is one of Australia’s premier motorsport complexes, home to internationally recognised events and over 200 days of activity across seven separate venues. This includes a 2.7km circuit, drag strip, speedway, bitumen and dirt karting tracks, motocross track, mud racing arena and a quad bike facility. 10 volunteer-run affiliate clubs are based on site, which also includes the Motorsports House precinct.

Our other member clubs are based in the greater Darwin region, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Nhulunbuy, ensuring that motorsport has wide coverage across the Territory.

Here you will find details for all of our 22 affiliated clubs, along with a comprehensive calendar of motorsport events taking place across the NT this year.

Motorsports NT is a unique organisation, being the only peak body in Australia that truly represents all forms of two and four-wheeled motorsport in its jurisdiction. It has held that distinction in the Territory since 2007, and for that reason the history of both Motorsport in the Northern Territory and Motorsports NT is also recorded within these pages.

You’ll also find details of our grant programmes and other items of interest to motorsport stakeholders.
