The second round of the Independent Race Series will be held at Sydney's Oran Park. A two day meeting format with Practice, Qualifying and some races on Friday 15 May and a whole host of action taking place on Saturday 16 May.

Practice will take place on the morning of Friday (15 May), with Official Qualifying on Friday afternoon, and some races at the end of the day. Saturday (16 May) will see a full schedule of racing.

Admission for spectators will be affordable, and the teams of the Independent Race Series foster a friendly environment, where fans are generally welcome to get up close to the teams in the pit and paddock area.

Correction: this page previously stated that admission to Round 2 would be free. This statement was incorrect. There will be an admission fee for spectators. The fee will be announced shortly.

Correction #2: this page also mentioned a one day racing format. This statement was also incorrect, the meeting is a two day format, with Practice, Qualifying and Racing on Friday, and more racing on Saturday. We apologise for any confusion the previous information may have caused.

Oran Park was established in 1963. The original layout closely resembled what is today known as the “South Circuit”. After hosting events successfully for ten years, the “North Circuit” was added in 1973, and when linked with the South Circuit, formed the full “Grand Prix Circuit”. The name coming from the fact that the track hosted its first Australian Grand Prix on the layout.

The circuit has hosted many epic battles, and has hosted many rounds of the Australian Touring Car Championship. Sadly, the circuit is scheduled to wind down racing operations in 2009 to eventually become a residential estate.

Oran Park is located on Cobbity Road, Narellan. Nearby centres are Camden, Campbelltown and Liverpool. There are numerous motels and restaurants in the local area.

The South Circuit layout that will be used for the opening round of the Independent Race Series is a compact yet flowing circuit. Circuit length is 1.96km, top speeds are in excess of 200km/h, and there are five challenging corners.

Spectators can generally get a good view of the entire circuit from most positions. Prime viewing areas include the final turn grandstand, leading onto the main straight, the dog-leg or flip-flop - a blind corner on the crest of a hill at the back of the circuit.
