The Development Application for SA Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend which features a international standard drag strip is before council with full plans available for viewing online.
The venue will house a full quarter mile drag strip equal or better than any currently in Australia, with a design that looks like it is based on the Sydney and Perth facilities complete with burnout pad.
The facility will also provide world class circuit track along with tracks for drifting, rally, rally cross, go-karts and even a aircraft run-way, plus plans for a hotel and many other recreational activities.

The location 90km from Adelaide or about a hour drive has drawn some criticism, but the potential of this facility certainly outweighs the negatives.

Peregrine is now co-owned by the three Shahin brothers with Sam the one in charge of the motorsport development.
