If there’s one event where motorsport meets motorhome adventure, it’s the Airtouch 500 at The Bend. Set in South Australia’s motorsport mecca — The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend — this Supercars showdown is as much about the epic road-trip vibes as it is about podium finishes.
Engines on. Fridge stocked. Park up trackside and live the weekend on your terms.
Pure Petrolhead Paradise
Every August, The Bend transforms into a high-octane festival of roaring engines, family-friendly entertainment, and community-style camping. Trackside campgrounds buzz all weekend — think BBQs, pit banter with fellow fans, sunrise brekkies as the circuit warms up, and starry nights after a day of tyre smoke.
Whether you’re a Supercars diehard or chasing a road trip that blends adrenaline with easy living, rolling in with a motorhome is the ultimate way to do The Bend.
