Today the speedway circuit at Bendigo Bank Arena Latrobe is 440 meters (0.27 miles) long at the pole line and has a clay surface which is extremely friendly to race tyres. The track is D shaped with minor banking in each of the turns. It has a concrete safety fence as well as a state of the art safety catchment fence.
Founded over 40 years ago it has operated on a continuous basis since then and has undergone several major face lifts including being a paved raceway to its current surface type of clay.
It is currently operated by a board of eight directors, some of whom were founding Board members.
Latrobe has staged Australian Titles for most speedway divisions and is responsible for establishing Australia’s richest super sedan event the Apple Isle Grand Prix which now has blue ribbon status.
Latrobe Speedway Pty Ltd is one of the World Series Sprintcars Series franchise owners and hosts rounds of the nationally popular series each year.
