Festival of Horsepower

The Festival of Horsepower returns this June with a month‑long program full of high‑octane action, major racing events and unmissable entertainment.

The adrenaline pumping action kicks off with the Gulf Western Oil Winternationals roaring into Willowbank Raceway from 4-7 June. As the biggest drag racing event outside North America, it brings 400+ cars and motorcycles from across the globe for four massive days of world‑class competition.

Queensland Raceway keeps the pace high from 26-28 June as it hosts the final round of the Australian Superbike Championship. Champions will be crowned across all classes, with stunt riding demos, pit walks and autograph sessions adding to the electric atmosphere.

For those who prefer their horsepower with a touch of glamour, the TAB Ipswich Cup on 20 June delivers the city’s biggest social event of the year. From thrilling live racing to fashions on the field, DJ sets and trackside celebrations, it’s the perfect day out with friends.

And that’s just the beginning - there’s plenty of family fun to be had at the trots in Marburg at Marburg Pacing Association, and the Shannons Speedseries GT Festival. Explore the full Festival of Horsepower program and supercharge your June with unforgettable experiences across Ipswich!
