Oran Park Raceway is a motor racing circuit at Narellan in southwestern Sydney, Australia. Most of the circuit is visible from the main grandstand or the grassed banks surrounding the track. The full track ("Grand Prix Circuit") was added in the early 1970s. It is a 2.7 kilometre figure-eight shape with a bridge where the track crosses itself. Despite the loop in the longest track shape, the circuit is regarded as racing anticlockwise. Oran Park was used regularly for rounds of championship series such as the Australian Touring Car Championship, V8 Supercar Championship, Australian Drivers' Championship and Australian Sports Sedan Championship. The Australian Grand Prix was held at Oran Park in 1974 and 1977. In the 1970’s the circuit attracted large crowds for the popular Toby Lee Series (initially for Series Production cars, later for Sports Sedans). Events hosted at the track include an annual round of the V8 Supercar series and has been host to the Superbike World Championship, and on two occasions the Australian Grand Prix. Oran Park Raceway has hosted a round of the Australian Touring Car Championship every year since 1971. 2008 will be the final year of Oran Park in the V8 Supercar Championship Series. Allan Moffat and Mark Skaife are the most successful drivers at Oran Park in the ATCC, with 6 round wins each.
