Who has seen or heard about this new track and motorsport complex at Tailem Bend in SA ?

Check their website at: www.thebend.com.au

Sounds like this will become a great destination venue for many car clubs to visit for track days since they have on track accommodation etc.

They have already hosted a round of V8 Supercars.

I recall Alex W posting some footage from his race car, seemed impressed.

Here you go Phil.

We were there with Group S for the very first event in April this year.

Its a pretty fun track ;-) I'm looking forward to doing some more laps when they are running the track in the full length configuration

Alex, thanks for posting the link and the running commentary helped understand the new track layout. I noticed on another youtube video that appeared as a related link, the track was very dusty in some sections. Is it our in the sticks and surrounded by dust bowls ? Is this a problem with visibility on the track as the driver in the video commented ?
