2026 ARB Australian Off Road Racing Championship Action-Packed 2026 Calendar Released.
The 2026 ARB Australian Off Road Racing Championship is shaping up to be another action-packed year of top-level off road racing across some of the most popular and challenging tracks in the country.
The Championship will feature four exciting rounds, stretching from the melon-hole country of southern Queensland to the pine forests of south-east South Australia.
Round 1 – The Gap 440, Hillston, NSW (27–29 March 2026)
The Griffith Off Road Club returns to the Championship at Hillston, filling the space created in the calendar by the Rainbow event taking a break from hosting a national round. Competitors can expect a varied and fast-paced course featuring long straights, flowing farm tracks, and technical tree-lined sections that test both endurance and precision; a true all-round challenge for drivers and navigators alike.
Round 2 – The Waikerie Riverland Enduro, Waikerie, SA (10–12 July 2026)
Following a highly successful return to the national stage in 2025, the Waikerie Off Road Club will again host Round 2. The event will follow the same popular format; a short course on Saturday and long course sections on Sunday. With further developments to the track underway, the Waikerie race promises to be one of the highlights of the season.
Round 3 – Gundy 500, Goondiwindi, QLD (7–9 August 2026)
After the disappointment of having to cancel their 2025 event due to adverse weather, the Goondiwindi club and local community are eager to welcome teams and fans back in 2026. The weekend will kick off with the much-loved Friday night showground gathering, where locals turn out to see the cars up close and soak in the pre-race atmosphere.
Round 4 – The Pines Enduro, Millicent, SA (25–27 September 2026)
As tradition dictates, the season finale will be hosted in Millicent, starting in the Teagle Quarry before heading into the surrounding pine forests. Saturday’s short course section within the Teagle Quarry remains a crowd favourite, followed by long course racing on Sunday. The Championship dinner and presentation will take place on Sunday night in Millicent.
Plans for the 2026 Championship also include an enhanced social media presence to keep fans, competitors, and sponsors updated throughout the season, showcasing the events, competitors, and community spirit that define the series.
Lock these dates into your 2026 calendar for great family-friendly racing, adrenaline-fuelled action, and the chance to reconnect with racing mates from across Australia.
