The Bend Motorsport Park East CW
The Bend Motorsports Park is a multi-purpose racing complex in operation since 2015, located an hour away from Adelaide, Australia. The facility consists of a fully-customizable road course, a drag strip, and a drift pad. Some of the raceway layouts available are the 35 turns, 4.82-mile (7.75-km) GT Circuit, the 2.12-mile (3.41-km) West Circuit, the 3.07-mile (4.94-km) International Circuit, and the 2.44-mile (3.93-km) East Circuit. The track surface tends to be dry, and temperatures are pleasant year-round, with mild extremes in summers and winters. Some of the racing series held at Bend Motorsport Park include the Supercar and Superbike Series, the Australian GT Championship, and the Asian LeMans Series, to name a few.
The GT Circuit of Bend Motorsports Park is one of the lengthiest in the world, second only to the renowned Nürburgring in Germany. It consolidates the other layouts in a single trajectory with up to 35 turns of varying angles and a remarkable 180 feet of elevation change. The West Circuit consists of the GT Circuit's front straightaway plus 12 corners, and the East Circuit elevates the technical difficulty with 22 challenging turns snaking left and right. The International Circuit bypasses the East Circuit's hard-to-maneuver trajectory and is the fastest configuration in the park, with an average speed of 80 mph (128 km/h).
The East clockwise configuration at The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia utilizes the eastern circuit sections in clockwise direction at this modern facility near Tailem Bend. The East designation indicates a specific routing focusing on particular portions of the property, with clockwise flow creating intended corner sequences. This variant serves events requiring specific layout characteristics or moderate circuit length appropriate for certain vehicle classes and skill levels.
Operating the East CW showcases The Bend's exceptional modular infrastructure where multiple distinct layouts can be combined with directional flexibility creating nearly unlimited configuration possibilities. South Australian climate creates year-round racing potential making the facility a constant venue for testing and competition serving Adelaide-area motorsport community. The East clockwise configuration provides specific technical challenge demonstrating The Bend's comprehensive scope as one of Australia's most configurable modern circuits, maximizing infrastructure value through systematic layout combinations.
