Adelaide V8 Supercar Events Race
As luck had it and being a huge race fan, while on our vacation to Australia a few years ago, we just happened to be visiting the 🏙 City of Adelaide in Australia, when one of the …
🌺 Adelaide V8 Supercar Events
was taking place.
It was the 🚗 Clipsal 500 weekend race spectacle!
This was one of the biggest events held in city, attracting nearly 300,000 visitors, for the weekend pro series races. It’s a huge boost to the economy in this region and what a great event the race was seasons ago, during our visit.
It was outstanding, especially for someone like me, a lover of auto racing and who has never, experienced this type of 🚗 auto racing. As well, were we ever glad we had arranged for our 🏨 hotel accommodations well in advance, while still back home in 🍁 Canada.
I love 🚗 NASCAR Racing and attending live events each and every year in the United States,
but this type and style of racing is completely different.
Check out my short amateur 📹 video, showing some of weekend race action.
Don’t forget to turn your 🔊 speakers on!

Clipsal 500 Adelaide V8 Supercar Championship Series
The main attraction during this amazing four day event is the – V8 Supercar series. This is Australia’s Premier Series, like the 🏁 NASCAR Cup Series, in the United States.
This race weekend in Adelaide was also the biggest domestic motor sport event held,
in the country. So what a treat it was for me, to luck out visiting the city during this time.
As you can see by my 📹 video, these cars are sleek and very fast!
As a matter of fact, one of NASCAR’s top race car drivers in the {NASCAR Cup Series}, was a very popular import from Australia. He was also a two time champion of the {Supercar Series} in Australia.
His name is {Marcos Ambrose} and he did a remarkable job in his transition, to; American Stock Car Racing, a few years ago.
Update:
Marcos Ambrose is now back in his homeland and officially retired from race car driving, back in 2015, after a remarkable career!
In 2024 a new and very well known Super Car Champion Shane Van Gisbergen, (photo above) is now racing in the United States in the top NASCAR racing series. He has already won races in his rookie season in NASCAR!
Adelaide is a lovely city and was one of my favorites, during our short visit to Australia. Be sure to check out the links below, to my posts and 📸 photos on some very popular; Must See Attractions, in the city.
Adelaide Comes Alive During Clipsal 500 Weekend
As a race fan, it’s always exciting to see and meet fans who enjoy the same sport as you, and as our 🚕 taxi driver pointed out …
“The City Comes Alive”
during this huge weekend race event.
In fact he told us, it is always one of their busiest times, when the event is held. The street and sidewalks were packed with race fans and all kinds of entertainment, for visitors and locals to enjoy.
Bars, restaurants, outside entertainment were bustling all throughout the city, during this 4 day event, while we were there.
Like NASCAR, it was easy to spot the race fans, as they were all sporting; hats and t-shirts of their favorite drivers in the series. It was really cool to see, especially for a visitor from another country, as myself.
So if you love auto racing and you love travel, then why not plan a holiday as we do, that includes a major auto racing event, of any kind, anywhere in the world. 🌎
These events are always considered a {Major Attraction}, in any city they are being held.
As an example, a few years back our family visited Las Vegas, Nevada for a vacation. We planned the trip, when a major stock car race was being held at …
