Sydney Motorsport Park and the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club, the official managing authority for the venue, require that any media personnel (journalists, photographers, film crew, et cetera) attending any event or activity at the venue apply for media accreditation with the venue or the event promoter prior to gaining access.
In order to be considered for accreditation to Sydney Motorsport Park, the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club requests that you complete all sections this form and return it with your digital signature. You will then be contacted by the ARDC Team regarding your application's success, and with specific information and instructions on your request.
Receipt of this form is not an automatic approval of credentials. We will contact you and/or your employer to confirm approval.
Please note that this form of "Limited" accreditation will be supplied to working media and non-commercial amateur media outlets and provides entry to the venue, closer parking to the main paddock, and access to the Media Centre if open for the event. However, this accreditation does NOT allow access to non-spectator areas of the Circuit.
Accreditation is given at the discretion of the venue or promoter. Persons not adhering to the media guidelines outlined for the event, or using this Media Accreditation to on-sell images at the venue to clients other than media or pre-approved clientele will be removed from the premises.
