Event Info

Sportsnet Drivers Forum

Catch full-blooded V8 action on Adelaide's city streets in the motor race that attracts thousands of excited fans every year. According to motor racing's legendary Murray Walker, it's the greatest touring car event in the world.

Sportsnet Holidays' Drivers Forum was held on a hot summers night, but the party took a cool turn when Ford Performance Racing's Mark Winterbottom dropped by. He was joined at The Forum by Rod Nash Racing's young gun Tony D'Alberto. Both drivers had fun sharing stories with our clients. They ended the night taking photos and signing autographs.

Tickets

CLIPSAL 500 GRANDSTAND UPGRADE PRICES
All Grandstands for 2009 are covered.

Chicane Grandstand - $147.00 p/p **SOLD OUT**
Considered by many as the prime viewing location on the circuit, this grandstand provides breathtaking viewing of the action through the Chicane onto Wakefield Road. Drivers 'thread the needle' and if they get it right it's awesome, but get it wrong and the run-off areas and barriers come into play. A Bytecraft Superscreen again completes the viewing package.

Pirie Street Grandstand - $111.00 p/p
Situated on Turn 7, a tight right-hander leading onto the fastest section of the circuit, Brock Straight. It's a matter of hard braking and awesome acceleration. Patrons enjoy full cover and television monitors within the Pirie Street Grandstand.

Barry Sheene Pit Straight Grandstand - AA-I - $93.00 p/p
The largest grandstand on the circuit sited on Pit Straight offers the drama of race starts and finishes and pit stop action, plus conveniently located catering and merchandising outlets.   Three giant Bytecraft Superscreens are provided for Barry Sheene Pit Straight Grandstand patrons.

Brock Straight Grandstand - $93.00 p/p
Named in memory of Australian motor sport icon Peter Brock, this outstanding grandstand gives patrons views of both Brock Straight (Bartels Road) and Brabham Straight (Dequetteville Terrace) and the super fast sweeper.  A Bytecraft Superscreen ensures complete race action coverage.

Senna Chicane Granstand - $83.00 p/p
Named in memory of Formula 1 Grand Prix great Ayrton Senna, this grandstand overlooks Turns 1 and 2 of the Chicane where V8 Supercar stars flip left and right and ride the kerbs to maximise speed onto Wakefield Road. A Bytecraft Superscreen makes sure patrons see every gear change and on-track challenge.

Turn 8 Grandstand - $83.00 p/p
The Turn 8 grandstand is placed at one of the most challenging parts of the circuit.  The stand is located on Brock Straight (Bartels Road) deep into the apex for this demanding 'sweeper'.  A Bytecraft Superscreen completes the viewing package.

Pit Entry Grandstand - $42.00 p/p
See the cars peel off for their rapid pit stops and watch them thunder into the Hairpin and weave under brakes.  A Bytecraft Superscreen ensures a complete view of all the race action.

Wakefield Grandstand - $36.00 p/p
This grandstand commands great views as the cars power hard up Wakefield Road after exiting the Senna Chicane.  It's a vital section of the circuit, with drivers placing their cars for the run into the ninety-degree Turn 4.  It's a matter of the fast line, but being careful not to let the opposition on the inside for a last second out-braking manoeuvre. Television monitors are provided to ensure complete race action coverage.

Brabham Straight Grandstand - $33.00 p/p
Situated at the end of Brabham Straight (Dequetteville Terrace), this grandstand provides prime viewing of the fiercest braking duals on the circuit as drivers battle for position as they enter the roundabout hairpin. Family tickets are also available for this grandstand.  Three Bytecraft Superscreens completes the viewing package.

Upgrade your General Admission Ticket to one of the above options by simply adding the per person price to your package price.

FAQ

Q: What are the dates of Clipsal 2009?
A:
