Inspiring everyone in motorsport

The Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame celebrates 120 years
of accomplishment in Australian and world motorsport.

The Hall of Fame exists to honour our champions, pioneers and heroes and to inspire our next generation. Through it, we recognise Australian motorsport’s highest of achievers – drivers and riders, and those who’ve contributed to the development of Australian motorsport sport.

Outside of the Olympic Sports, motorsport has generated more international success for Australia than most other ‘global’ sports in this country.

Motorsport delivers long-term social, sporting, community, and economic benefits. It has inspired generations of followers to dream the dream of international competition and to conquer the best that the nation and the world has to offer.

Induction in the Hall Of Fame is restricted to the top tier of competitors and those who support the sport.

Our Legends, they are simply the very best of the best!
