Mortlake Car Club — Darlington, Victoria
Proudly backed by our track sponsors
Our Passion, Your Speedway
CHAPTER 01
Carved out of Mortlake volcanic soil and Darlington clay by passionate local racers, the Mortlake Car Club built a sanctuary for grassroots Australian motorsport. Key figures like Bob Ross, who contributed until 2012, helped shape this venue into what it is today.
CHAPTER 02
A high-banked 310-metre clay arena engineered for tight wheel-to-wheel battles, heavy dust roost and high-side thrills — plus a brand-new purpose-built 110-metre JQMV and kart track right on the infield for our youngest racers.
CHAPTER 03
Maintained by generations of local mechanics, families and racing purists who keep the speedway lights burning through thick and thin. Every membership dollar goes straight back into venue improvements and running costs.
Experience the Thrill of Variety
High-revving 600cc winged rocketships with extreme power-to-weight speed.
Pure driver skill — lightweight V6 sprint cars sliding sideways on the cushion.
6-cylinder production cars built tough for door-to-door bumper battles.
Custom V8 vintage-body hot rods built for roar and high-speed oval drift.
The 110m infield track — incubator for Australia's next champion dirt racers.
