LAKESIDE INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY
Lakeside International Raceway is a motor racing circuit located at Pine Rivers 30 km north of Brisbane and lies adjacent to Lake Kurwongbah.
The 2.41 km circuit opened in 1961 and was closed in mid 2001 but looks set to re open in 2007.
It was the venue for a wide range of racing championships including the Australian Grand Prix on two occasions the Australian Touring Car Championship, the Australian Superbike Championship and the Tasman Series.
“If you can learn to race a motorbike at Lakeside, you can compete at any race track in the world.” Mick Doohan, 5 time 500cc Motorcycle Grand Prix World Champion.
Since Lakeside's closure, a group of fans, competitors and officials, as well as Pine Rivers Shire rate payers and business owners, called Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts, Inc. have worked towards the goal of re-instating club level motor racing at the circuit.
LMRE is comprised of both car and motorcycle afficianados from 17 to 70 years old and hail from all various motoring fraternities and niches conceivable. They want to preserve Lakeside's history and insure that it is available for future generations.
