Sydney Spectators

GENERAL INFO

For those who know what Powercruise is all about, we’re sure we don’t need to tell you it’s just the wildest cruisin car show you’ve ever been to. For everyone else, we guess all we can say is get yourself out to the racetrack to check out what all the fuss is about.

Powercruise to the average punter is a car show but to the thousands who have participated over the 10+ years that we have been bringing you the fun, will tell you its more than a car show. Powercruise is one of the reasons we build our street machine, hot rods, hi tech imports or what ever your preferred style of car is. This page is designed to answer any questions that you have in regards to being a spectator.

If you have ANY questions about being a Passenger at Powercruise please call us on 0407 172 413 before the event and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.

Over the weekend there will be hours of cruising, so spectators can jump in their mates car, and cruise the track alongside hundreds of like-minded petrolheads… that’s what Powercruise is about after all… doing all the things you’re not allowed to do anywhere else! However there are a few special requirements all passengers should be aware of…
