Morgan Park Raceway is a motorsports complex located at Old Stanthorpe Road near Warwick, in Queensland, Australia and is operated by the Warwick District Sporting Car Club Inc. The venue features a race circuit with five different layouts.

History

The initial Template:Cvt race circuit was constructed in 1968 and the first race meeting was staged in March of the following year.[1] The circuit was bitumen sealed in 1997 and an extension to Template:Cvt was subsequently undertaken.[1] A further extension to Script error: No such module "convert". was completed in 2002 and the venue hosted its first Queensland Motor Racing Championships round the same year.[1] In 2007 it hosted its first national championship races, the Formula Vee Nationals and the Australian Improved Production Nationals.[1]

The new Template:Cvt layout was first used on the weekend of 14–15 August 2010 for a round of the Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships. This meeting featured a round of Australia's oldest motor racing championship, the Australian Drivers' Championship, which was visiting Morgan Park for the first time.

Morgan Park hosts a round of the Australian Superbike Championship. It is the home of the Queensland state championships for both cars and motorcycles, as well as the WDSCC championships. The circuit is also home to Queensland's biggest historic motor racing festival held in July or August, hosted by the Historic Racing Car Club of Queensland. Porsche factory driver Matt Campbell's grandfather, Bill, was involved in the development and management of the circuit.[2]
