Black Rock Motor Resort

Black Rock Motor Resort is a permanent race track and resort under construction 20 km south-west of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The circuit will be the second private motorsport venue in New South Wales after The Farm on the Central Coast.

History

Situated in bushland on the site of a former colliery in western Lake Macquarie, construction of the venue – the second in the region after Circuit Italia in Port Stephens – began in March 2024. Designed by Tilke to FIA Grade 2 standards, the venue is intended to be a club-only circuit similar to Circuito Ascari and Bilster Berg with leaseable villas, holiday accommodation and recreational and dining facilities. In December 2024, Managing Director Tony Palmer claimed in a press conference with circuit ambassador Toby Price that circuit preparations were complete and that the first stage of construction would be finished in June 2026.
