In a similar vein to the Rydges Pit Lane Hotel, Bathurst, with its “uninterrupted views” of Mount Panorama’s Conrod Straight, Rydges will be opening a new four-star trackside hotel at The Bend Motorsport Park. It will be located on the site of Mitsubishi’s old test track in South Australia where a new $110 million, 7.7 kilometre circuit, The Bend Motorsport Park, is under construction.

With plans for accommodation at the park to host up to 10,000 people, the new 100-room Rydges hotel will offer a variety of different sized rooms with serious insulation and double-glazing to help block out the trackside noise.

The Bend Motorsport Park is set to open in the middle of January with the Rydges hotel opening in April.

The first event at the new track will be the Revolve24 Endurance Cycling Challenge, and in August, round two of the 2018 Australian Supercars Championship will be held at the park.

In addition, the newly approved Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme certification could potentially offer a MotoGP round be held at the park.

The Bend’s FIA Category 2 facilities will include circuit racing for cars and motorcycles, a purpose-built drift circuit, a CIK-FIA standard karting circuit, a rallycross circuit, an international Group 1 dragway, driver training facilities, a 4WD adventure park and a rally/off-road facility.

From December 13, Rydges Pit Lane Hotel will take bookings in advance of its April opening.
