AirTouch 500 at The Bend | 11-13 Sep 2026
The AirTouch 500 at The Bend returns as part of the Repco Supercars Championship, bringing a high-intensity endurance race and three-day motorsport festival to South Australia.
In 2026, the event will debut on the shorter West Circuit, delivering more laps, tighter racing and near-constant on-track action as the 500km enduro transforms into a faster, more tactical contest. With 147 laps across a 12-turn layout, fans can expect closer racing, more overtaking opportunities and improved viewing from multiple vantage points around the venue.
The Bend is one of Australia’s premier motorsport destinations, expanding its camping village, entertainment and hospitality precincts following strong demand. A new infield campground on pit straight will allow fans to stay inside the circuit, alongside expanded trackside camping options.
The AirTouch 500 is the only endurance race ahead of Bathurst, making it a key moment in the Supercars calendar and a major drawcard for fans seeking both elite racing and a festival-style atmosphere.
Beyond the track, the event will feature live entertainment, family-friendly activities, food and beverage offerings, and access to fan zones, with free pit paddock entry, free parking and on-site shuttle buses enhancing the overall experience.
Early bookings are strongly encouraged for 2026, particularly across the expanded camping precinct where sites can accommodate up to six people.
Tickets:
General Admission starts from $39, with kids under four FREE and additional family and multi-day options available.
