GILLMAN, SA
For travellers, interstate visitors, and culture seekers wanting to experience authentic Australian sporting grit beyond standard tourist trails, this weekend delivers the ultimate destination. On Saturday, October 24th, Ray White Gawler Stadium at Gillman Speedway roars to life for the Solo & Sidecar Championship—an electrifying celebration of pure Aussie motorsport heritage.
Located just 15 minutes north-west of the Adelaide CBD, speedway sidecar racing is one of Australia’s most thrilling and unique sporting spectacles. Purpose-built 1000cc three-wheeled machines slide sideways across a dirt oval without brakes, operated by a driver and a daredevil passenger who skims inches from the racing surface at speeds approaching 100 km/h. It is visceral, fast, and completely unscripted—a true immersion into modern gladiatorial dirt track racing.
The headline event features fierce battles across both solo and sidecar divisions, with fan-favorite teams including Mordaunt Racing 95 locking in their machines to put on an unforgettable show.
Whether you are an international backpacker, a road-tripping family, or an interstate holidaymaker, this fixture offers an accessible, family-friendly evening out. Gates open early at 4:00 PM, giving visitors the chance to explore the venue, grab a classic pie or burger from the canteen, enjoy a cold drink from the licensed bar, and take in the golden sunset before engines fire at 7:00 PM sharp
