Brisbane Spectators

GENERAL INFO

For those who know what Powercruise is all about, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you it’s just the wildest cruisin car show you’ve ever been to. For everyone else, I guess all I can say is get yourself out to the racetrack to check out what all the fuss is about.

Powercruise to the average punter is a car show but to the thousands who have participated over the last 10+ years that we have been bringing the fun to, will tell you its more than a car show. Powercruise is one of the reasons we build our street machine, hot rods, hi tech imports or what ever your preferred style of car is. This page is designed to answer any questions that you have in regards to being a spectator.

CAMPING

Trackside Camping is available for Entrants and Spectators at Powercruise Weekend! How cool is that!

There are also ample ladies and mens toilets spread around the venue. This includes both demountable building type toilets as well as portable individual toilets for more urgent matters!!.
