THE BEND MOTORSPORT PARK MUSEUM
The Bend Motorsport Park Museum
The museum is also called the Auto Gallery and is inside the Motorsport Welcome Centre.
Located within the reception foyer of Rydges Motel in Tailem Bend, South Australia, along side the Auto Gallery is a merchandise shop that offers a wide range of souvenirs and memorabilia for visitors to take home as a memento of their stay. The foyer itself is not just a simple check-in area but a fascinating space that invites guests to explore and admire its unique features. One of the main attractions in this space is the display of a dozen or so notable race cars, each with its own story and significance, making it a must-see for car enthusiasts and curious travellers alike. As you wander around the foyer, you can immerse yourself in the history and excitement of these impressive vehicles, learning about their racing achievements and the technology behind their design. This unexpected blend of hospitality and automotive culture adds a special touch to the overall experience of staying at Rydges Motel, creating lasting memories for guests and leaving them with a deeper appreciation for the destination.
A bar and meal area is upstairs and overlooks the racetrack. The Bend's own lager is no longer on tap (2024). Great place to relax and take it all in. Even on non race days it's a place worth visiting. Race days are very busy and the onsite accommodation likely booked out, or if available, higher priced. Race car test and performance days are held regularly and a stay may include such a day at no extra cost to accommodation.
Located on the second level of the facility, the bar and meal area offers a unique vantage point that overlooks the thrilling racetrack below. Guests can enjoy their drinks and meals while taking in the exciting races happening right in front of them. The elevated position not only provides a clear view of the track but also creates a vibrant atmosphere. The design of the bar and meal area is carefully planned to ensure that patrons have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, with ample seating, stylish decor, and large windows that allow natural light to flood the space. This elevated dining and socializing spot adds an extra layer of excitement and luxury to the overall racetrack experience, making it a popular choice for visitors looking to combine great food and drinks with the thrill of live racing action.
