Leyburn’s population of around 300 grows over this exciting weekend to more than 15,000 fans and competitors, who enjoy a true country atmosphere.
The 2009 event will be special, as it celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Australian Grand Prix run on a disused wartime airstrip on the town outskirts.
Competitors every year come from far and wide and represent an enormous diversity of motoring interests, united by the fun, camaraderie and love of grass-roots motorsport to be enjoyed at the Leyburn Sprints.

Amongst the action are markets, camping, and food galore - It’s a great day out for the whole family!! X
We have a number of celebrities attending to mark the occasion: John French, Kevin Bartlett, Dick Johnson, Ross Stone, Jimmy Stone are all planning to attend or compete in this year’s event. It’s also looking like we’ll have some of the young stars of V8 Supercars in attendance.
The track has been re configured to the original start position so that vehicles will finish at last years start line. We anticipate having electronic timing allowing for additional cars to be on the track at the same - adding to the action!
