Apex Circuit Design

CAMS, the FIA member club for Australia, has a vision for a multi-purpose motor sport destination that could be constructed at Avalon, establishing a home for a variety of motor sport and driving activities. Their vision called for a destination to satisfy all motor sport users, both 2 wheel and four wheel, in all categories of the sport. In 2009 CAMS contracted Apex, through the FIA Institute Facility Improvement Programme, to develop a master plan for the Avalon Motorsport Park as a phased development, thereby allowing CAMS to implement in a structured and strategic manner as funding and demand allows.

This phased approach extends also to the initial proposed Grade 2 circuits which could, if required, be upgraded to Grade 1 easily to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix or other international or national motor sport activities should this ever be a requirement in the future.

The Avalon Motorsport Park will, once built, provide a home for a variety of motor sport activities such as karting, club, national and international circuit racing, road safety driver training and race driver development, 4x4 driver training and ‘Top Fuel’ drag racing.

The project continues to garner public support in 2011 and there is a credible commercial and social case to be made, as part of the wider development around Avalon and Geelong, to establish this facility.
